28. There was in the same place another woman

‹ Section 27 Section 29 ›

,

a

neighbour

of

her

whose

son

had

lately

been

restored

to

health

.

And

as

her

son

was

labouring

under

the

same

disease

,

and

his

eyes

were

now

almost

blinded

,

she

wept

night

and

day

.

And

the

mother

of

the

child

that

had

been

cured

said

to

her

:

Why

dost

thou

not

take

thy

son

to

the

Lady

Mary

,

as

I

did

with

mine

when

he

was

nearly

dead

?

And

he

got

well

with

that

water

with

which

the

body

of

her

son

Jesus

had

been

washed

.

And

when

the

woman

heard

this

from

her

,

she

too

went

and

got

some

of

the

same

water

,

and

washed

her

son

with

it

,

and

his

body

and

his

eyes

were

instantly

made

well

.

Her

also

,

when

she

had

brought

her

son

to

her

,

and

disclosed

to

her

all

that

had

happened

,

the

Lady

Mary

ordered

to

give

thanks

to

God

for

her

son’s

restoration

to

health

,

and

to

tell

nobody

of

this

matter

.
