God is not complicated.

1. “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!”
2. As they were going they were cleansed.
3. He had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him.
4. Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”

Peace be with you,
Deacon Gerry
