‹ Section 16 Section 18 ›

took

scented

water

to

wash

the

Lord

Jesus

;

and

after

she

had

washed

Him

,

she

took

the

water

with

which

she

had

done

it

,

and

poured

part

of

it

upon

a

girl

who

was

living

there

,

whose

body

was

white

with

leprosy

,

and

washed

her

with

it

.

And

as

soon

as

this

was

done

,

the

girl

was

cleansed

from

her

leprosy

.

And

the

townspeople

said

:

There

is

no

doubt

that

Joseph

and

Mary

and

that

boy

are

gods

,

not

men

.

And

when

they

were

getting

ready

to

go

away

from

them

,

the

girl

who

had

laboured

under

the

leprosy

came

up

to

them

,

and

asked

them

to

let

her

go

with

them

.
