6 And He saith unto them: "Behold, My bowels are filled with compassion toward you - Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither.

7 "Have ye any that are lame or blind or halt or maimed or leprous? Or that are withered? Or that are deaf? Or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you.

8 "My bowels are filled with mercy, For I perceive that ye desire that I should show unto you what I have done unto your brethren at Jerusalem, For I see that your faith is sufficient that I should heal you."

9 And it came to pass that when He had thus spoken, all the multitude with one accord did go forth with their sick and their afflicted and their lame and with their blind and with their dumb and with all they that were afflicted in any manner; And He did heal them every one as they were brought forth unto Him;

10 And they did all - both they which had been healed and they which were whole - bow down at His feet and did worship Him;

11 And as many as could come, for the multitude, did kiss His feet, insomuch that they did bathe His feet with their tears.

12 And it came to pass that He commanded that their little children should be brought,

13 So they brought their little children and sat them down upon the ground round about Him, And Jesus stood in the midst and the multitude gave way till they had all been brought unto Him.

14 And it came to pass that when they had all been brought and Jesus stood in the midst, He commanded the multitude that they should kneel down upon the ground.

15 And it came to pass that when they had knelt upon the ground, Jesus groaned within Himself and saith: "Father, I am troubled because of the wickedness of the people of the house of Israel."

16 And when He had said these words, He Himself also knelt upon the earth, And behold, He prayed unto the Father, And the things which He prayed cannot be written, And the multitude did bear record which heard Him.
