Listen from:
When the Lord Jesus came down from the mountain, after teaching such wonderful words to those who followed Him, He began to do wonderful works. He healed the sick servant of a Roman centurion who believed in Him, and then the Lord Jesus healed a dear lady who was very ill with a fever. Those who were brought to Him possessed by wicked spirits were delivered and all who were sick were healed.
As the Lord Jesus and His disciples went across the sea to a country on the other side, a terrible storm arose. The disciples were very frightened and thought they were about to die. But the Lord Jesus rebuked the winds and the sea and all was immediately calm. Two fierce men who were possessed by wicked demons met the Lord Jesus when the boat came to the other side. He immediately delivered them by casting the demons out.
When the Lord Jesus came back to His own country, He healed a man who could not walk. After this He again taught some very important things to those who would listen to Him. While He was speaking, a ruler in Israel came begging the Lord Jesus to come and raise his daughter who had died. While on the way to the ruler’s house, a sick woman touched the border (hem) of the Lord Jesus’ garment, and she was healed of a sickness which had afflicted her for twelve years! At the ruler’s house the people scoffed at the Lord Jesus when He told them that the little girl was not dead. After He had made them all leave, He spoke to the little girl and she arose. How amazed and happy were her parents!
