And the multitude gathered by the lakeside, murmuring one to another concerning the sayings of the scribes. Some spake of his miracles, and others derided him, saying, “Is this not but a deceiver?” And the Pharisees drew nigh, their robes long, their countenances stern.
Then Jesus lifted up his eyes unto them, and spake, saying, “Wherefore dost thou question what thou seest? Shall the words of men endure, or the works of God stand forever?”
And the people murmured, and some were amazed. And he said unto them, “Verily, what is done shall stand; but what is spoken shall pass away.”
And he went among them, laying hands upon the sick, and blessing the children. And they departed whole, and the little ones laughed. But the murmuring of the scribes waxed not still. Yet the truth of his works abode before them.
