CHAPTER 13 JESUS SPEAKS IN A SYNAGOGUE. A BLIND MAN'S WANT OF FAITH. THE PEOPLE TRY TO KILL JESUS. “[…] And some brought unto Him a blind man to test His power, and said. ‘Rabbi, here is a son of Abram blind from birth. Heal him as Thou have healed Gentiles in Egypt.’ And He, looking upon him, perceived his unbelief and the unbelief of those that brought him, and their desire to ensnare Him. And He could do no mighty work in that place because of their unbelief. And they said unto Him. ‘Whatsoever we have heard done in Egypt, do also here in Thine own country.’ And He said, ‘Verily I say unto you. No prophet is accepted in his own home or in his own country, neither does a physician work cures upon them that know him. And I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the Heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land. But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed saving Naaman the Syrian.

A RICH MAN WHO GAVE NOUGHT TO HIS POORER BRETHREN, IS ALSO REBUKED. “[…] And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom and healing all manner of sickness and all mariner of disease among the people. And the fame of His miracles went throughout all Syria, and they brought unto Him many sick people that were taken with diverse diseases and torments and those which were lunatick and those that had the palsy, and He healed them. And there followed Him great multitudes of people from Galilee and from Decapolis and from Jerusalem and from Judea and from beyond Jordan. And as Jesus was going with some of His disciples, He met with a certain man who trained dogs to hunt other creatures. And He said to the man. ‘Why do thou thus? and the man said, ‘By this I live, and what profit is there to any in these creatures? These creatures are weak but the dogs are strong. And Jesus said, ‘Thou lack wisdom and love. Lo, every creature which God has made has its end, and purpose, and who can say what good is there in it? or what profit to yourself or mankind?”
