31. Moreover, there was there a leprous woman

‹ Section 30 Section 32 ›

,

and

she

went

to

the

Lady

Mary

,

the

mother

of

Jesus

,

and

said

:

My

lady

,

help

me

.

And

the

Lady

Mary

answered

:

What

help

dost

thou

seek

?

Is

it

gold

or

silver

?

or

is

it

that

thy

body

be

made

clean

from

the

leprosy

?

And

that

woman

asked

:

Who

can

grant

me

this

?

And

the

Lady

Mary

said

to

her

:

Wait

a

little

,

until

I

shall

have

washed

my

son

Jesus

,

and

put

him

to

bed

.

The

woman

waited

,

as

Mary

had

told

her

;

and

when

she

had

put

Jesus

to

bed

,

she

held

out

to

the

woman

the

water

in

which

she

had

washed

His

body

,

and

said

:

Take

a

little

of

this

water

,

and

pour

it

over

thy

body

.

And

as

soon

as

she

had

done

so

,

she

was

cleansed

,

and

gave

praise

and

thanks

to

God

.
