He who was dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother. Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God saying, A great prophet has arisen among us, and God has visited his people! This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.

In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight. Jesus answered them, Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the Proclamation preached to them. Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts. But what did you go out to see? A prophet"? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.

For I tell you, among those who are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than "John-the-Baptizer". Yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom, is greater than he.  

When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism. But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call to one another, saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep. For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon. The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners! Yet Wisdom is justified by all her children.

One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat at the table. Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment. Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.

Jesus answered him, Simon, I have something to tell you.

Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Do you see this woman"? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.

Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?

Soon afterward, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the Proclamation of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve, and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; and Joanna, the wife of "Chu-zas", Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others; who served them from their possessions.
