And some time after there occurred a great commotion while a house was building, and Jesus stood up and went away to the place.

2And seeing a man lying dead, He took him by the hand, and said: Man, I say to thee, arise, and go on with thy work.

3And directly he rose up, and adored Him.

4And seeing this, the crowd wondered, and said: This child is from heaven, for he has saved many souls from death, and he continues to save during all his life.
