Having finished his devotions, Jesus came down from the mountain with his disciples, and met ten lepers, who from afar off cried out, "Jesus, son of David, have mercy on us!" Jesus called them near to him, and said to them, "What do you want from me, O brethren?" They all cried out, "Heal us!"

Jesus answered, "Do you not see me to be a man like yourselves. Call unto our God that has created you. He who is almighty and merciful will heal you."

With tears, the lepers answered, "We know that you are a man like us, but you are a holy one of God and a prophet of the Lord; wherefore, pray to God, and He will heal us."

Then Jesus prayed to God, saying, "Lord God almighty and merciful, have mercy and hearken to the words of your servant, and for love of Abraham, our father and for your holy covenant have mercy on the request of these men, and grant them health." Whereupon Jesus said this, turned to the lepers, and said, "Go and show yourselves to the priests according to the law of God."

The lepers departed and on the way were cleansed. Whereupon, one of them who was an Ishmaelite, seeing that he was healed, returned to find Jesus. He found Jesus and bowed himself, doing reverence unto him, and said, "Verily, you are a holy one of God." Then with thanks, he prayed him that he would receive him for servant. Jesus answered, "I have not come to be served, but to serve. Therefore, go home and recount how much God has done for you, in order that they may know that the promise made to Abraham and his son, with the kingdom of God, is drawing nigh."

Then, Jesus went to the Sea of Galilee, and having embarked in a ship sailed to his city of Nazareth. Whereupon, there was a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was nigh unto sinking. Jesus was sleeping upon the prow of the ship. Then drew near to him his disciples, awoke him, saying, "O master, save yourself, for we perish!" They were encompassed with very great fear, because of the great wind that was contrary and the roaring of the sea. Jesus arose, and raising his eyes to the sky, said, "O Lord, have mercy upon your servants." When Jesus said this, suddenly the wind ceased, and the sea became calm.
