And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw
the minstrels and the people making a noise,
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead,
but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
But when the people were put forth, he went in, and
took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men
followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David,
have mercy on us.
And when he was come into the house, the blind men
came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that
I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO
YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU.
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged
them, saying, See that no man know it.
But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his
fame in all that country.

am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Matthew 9:27-28

men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye
that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

BELIEVE IN HIS NAME,
