I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is how I write in every letter. ¹ 

So I want the men ¹  to pray ²  in every place, lifting up holy hands ³  without anger or dispute.

And, “You founded the earth in the beginning, Lord, ¹  and the heavens are the works of your hands.

The ¹  smoke coming from the incense, ²  along with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.

Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and it was restored, ¹  as healthy as the other.

He ¹  answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me ²  will betray me.

Jesus ¹  said to him, “Friend, do what you are here to do.” Then they came and took hold ²  of Jesus and arrested him.

He asked him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Come and lay your hands on her so that she may be healed and live.”

Then, gently taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”

So ¹  he stretched out his hand and touched ²  him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

Jesus ¹  was going through the grain fields on ²  a Sabbath, ³  and his disciples picked some heads of wheat, ⁴  rubbed them in their hands, and ate them. ⁵
