  "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us! 14 So when He
  saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourselves
  to the priests." And so it was that as they went,
  they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he
  saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud
  voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face
  at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a
  Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, "Were
  there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
  18 "Were there not any found who returned to give
  glory to God except this foreigner? 19 And He
  said to him, "Arise, go your way. Your faith has
  made you well."

  to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27. But
  Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled
  first, for it is not good to take the children's
  bread and throw it to the little dogs." 28. And
  she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet
  even the little dogs under the table eat from the
  children's crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For
  this saying go thy way the devil is gone out of
  thy daughter.

only son of his mother and she was a widow. And
a large crowd from the city was with her. 13.
When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her
and said to her, "Do not weep." 14. Then He
came and touched the open coffin, and those who
carried him stood still. And He said, "Young man,
I say to you, arise." 15. So he who was dead
sat up and began to speak. And He presented him
to his mother.

Matthew 2738-44 38. Then two robbers were
crucified with Him, one on the right and another
on the left. 39. And those who passed by
blasphemed Him, wagging their heads 40. and
saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it
in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son
of God, come down from the cross." 41. Likewise
the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes
and elders, said, 42. He saved others Himself
He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let
Him now come down from the cross, and we will
believe Him. 43. He trusted in God let Him
deliver Him now if He will have Him for He said,
'I am the Son of God.' " 44. Even the robbers
who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the
same thing.
