JE-SUS went to Ca-per-na-um and taught the Jews there. But all that he said made them hate him the more, and their chief priests did all they could to prove that he was not the Christ who was to save them. They thought that he who was to be the King of the Jews would come in rich robes, and with all the signs of high rank. So they would have naught to do with a poor man like Je-sus. It made Je-sus sad to have the Jews turn from him, and he left them, and went out to the towns of Tyre and Si-don, which were on the sea-coast. And no Jews dwelt there. Yet a wo-man, as soon as she heard he was there, came out and cried to him, O Lord, thou Son of Da-vid, come and heal my child, for she has gone mad. [Illustration: THE AS-CEN-SION.] Je-sus said he was sent to none but the Jews. This he did to try her faith, for she was not a Jew. But she fell at his feet, and cried out, Lord help me! [Illustration: SI-DON.] Je-sus said to her, Great is thy faith; thy child is made well. And when she went back to her house she found her child had been made well at the same hour that she spoke to Je-sus. Then Je-sus and the twelve went down near the Sea of Gal-i-lee once more. And they brought to Je-sus a man that was deaf, and who could not speak plain, that he might lay his hands on him and heal him. Je-sus took him out of the crowd, and touched his ears and tongue, and at once the man was made well, so that he could both hear and speak. And crowds came to him, and brought those that were lame, blind, and dumb, and laid them down at the feet of Je-sus, that he might heal them. And Je-sus healed them all, so that the crowds were in a maze when they saw the dumb speak, the lame walk, and the blind see; and they gave praise and thanks to God for what he had done. At the end of six days Je-sus took Pe-ter, James, and John, and went up on a high mount to pray. And while he was there a great change took place in him. His face shone as the sun, and his clothes were as white as snow, and the light shone through them. And Mo-ses and E-li-jah came to him, and spoke with him. Pe-ter said, Lord, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Mo-ses, and one for E-li-jah. While he yet spoke there came a bright cloud, out of which a voice spoke and said, This is my dear Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him. When Pe-ter, James, and John heard it, they bowed down to the ground, and were in great fear. Je-sus came and touched them, and said, Rise. Fear not. And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but Je-sus. As they came down from the mount, Je-sus bade them tell no one what they had seen till he rose from the dead.
