    1. In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order, for you shall die; you shall not recover.”

    2. Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord:

    3. “Remember now, O Lord, I implore you, how I have walked before you in faithfulness with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” Hezekiah wept bitterly.

    4. Before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him:

    5. “Turn back, and say to Hezekiah prince of my people, Thus says the Lord, the God of your ancestor David: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; indeed, I will heal you; on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.

    6. I will add fifteen years to your life. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David’s sake.”

    7. Then Isaiah said, “Bring a lump of figs. Let them take it and apply it to the boil, so that he may recover.”

    8. Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?”

    9. Isaiah said, “This is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he has promised: the shadow has now advanced ten intervals; shall it retreat ten intervals?”

    10. Hezekiah answered, “It is normal for the shadow to lengthen ten intervals; rather let the shadow retreat ten intervals.”

    11. The prophet Isaiah cried to the Lord; and he brought the shadow back the ten intervals, by which the sun had declined on the dial of Ahaz.

    8. In Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet and had never walked, for he had been crippled from birth.

    9. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. And Paul, looking at him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

    10. said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And the man sprang up and began to walk.

    11. When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!”

    12. Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

    13. The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates; he and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifice.

    14. When the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,

    15. “Friends, why are you doing this? We are mortals just like you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.

    13. Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise.

    14. Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.

    15. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven.

    16. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.

    17. Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.

    18. Then he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain and the earth yielded its harvest.

    1. As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth.

    2. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

    3. Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him.

    4. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.

    5. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

    6. When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes,

    7. saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see.

    8. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”

    9. Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am he.”

    10. But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?”

    11. He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ Then I went and washed and received my sight.”
