Luke 6:11-1611And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. 12And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 13And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; 14Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes, 16And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. (Luke 6:11‑16)
AFTER Jesus had turned the water into wine, he did many other wonders. He made blind people see and deaf people hear. He made dumb people speak and lame people walk.
When Jesus came to a place, all the sick people crowded round Him. Jesus did not send them away because they disturbed Him, but He cured them all. Yes, every one of them.
This was the way in which Jesus cured one blind man. He said, ‘See!’ And the man could see at that moment.
This was the way in which He cured a man who was deaf and dumb. Jesus put His fingers into his ears and touched his tongue. He looked up to His Father in heaven and said, ‘Be opened!’ And immediately the string of his tongue was loosed, and he could speak plainly.
Once Jesus saw a poor sick man lying on a bed. Jesus said to him, ‘Would you like to be made well?’ The poor man said he wished very much to be made well. Then Jesus said, ‘Get up; carry your bed and walk.’ When the man tried to get up, he found that he could; for Jesus gave him strength.
One day Jesus was in a place like a church. When He was preaching, He saw a poor woman whose back was so bent that she could not lift up her head. Jesus said, ‘Woman, I have made you well.’ Then Jesus touched her with His hands, and her back grew straight, and she began to praise God.
Sometimes Jesus made dead people alive again. That was even more wonderful than making sick people well.
Once Jesus was walking on the road. Many people were walking after Him, for people liked to see Him do wonders and to hear Him talk. They met some men carrying a dead man to put him in the ground.
A poor woman came after them, crying very much. She was the mother of the dead man. He was her only son. Jesus was very sorry to see her crying. He came up to her and said: ‘Do not cry.’ Then He touched the coffin. There was no top to it and the dead man was lying in it.
Jesus said, ‘Get up, young man!’ He sat up and began to speak. Then Jesus said to his mother, ‘Here is your son.’ All the people were surprised, and said, ‘This must be the Son of God. He can make dead people live again.’
