Book Two - Chapter 19

Of a paralytic woman.

A CERTAIN other woman, living by the Thames, who was shaken with palsy and had suffered the loss of the use of all her limbs as her sickness grew worse, though dwelling beyond Thames, was brought to the same hospital. And she nevertheless by the power of the apostle was after some time healed of her sickness, and rejoicing saw again her own home, took a husband and became the mother of sons.
