<strong>and</strong> rededicate them as temples of God. And they will seize<br />

Satan <strong>and</strong> cast him from your bodies with all his diseases<br />

<strong>and</strong> all his uncleannesses. And happy will you be, for you<br />

will receive the reward of your steadfastness, <strong>and</strong> you will<br />

never see disease."<br />

And there was among the sick, one that was more tormented<br />

by Satan than all the others. And his body was as parched<br />

as a skeleton, <strong>and</strong> his skin yellow as a falling leaf. He was so<br />

weak already that he could not, even upon his h<strong>and</strong>s, crawl<br />

to Jesus, <strong>and</strong> cried only to him from afar: "Master, have pity<br />

on me, for never has man suffered, not from the beginning of<br />

the world, as I do suffer. I know that you are indeed sent by<br />

God, <strong>and</strong> I know that if you will, you can straightway cast<br />

out Satan from my body. Do not the angels of God obey<br />

God's messenger? Come, Master, <strong>and</strong> cast out Satan from<br />

me now, for he rages angrily within me <strong>and</strong> grievous is his<br />

torment." 20<br />

Here is the version of the New Testament:<br />

They came to Jerusalem, <strong>and</strong> Jesus entered into the temple,<br />

<strong>and</strong> began to throw out those who sold <strong>and</strong> those who<br />

bought in the temple, <strong>and</strong> overthrew the money changers’<br />

tables, <strong>and</strong> the seats of those who sold the doves. He<br />

would not allow anyone to carry a container through the<br />

temple. 17 He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My<br />

house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?’<br />

But you have made it a den of robbers!”<br />
