naum , he found many of the Pharisees and Doctors of the Law assembled from various parts of Palestine ; and iin their presence he healed a paralytic , who was let down from the roof into the court near the place where he was sitting . The same day he called Matthew to attend upon his ministry ;
and shortly after dined at his house , where he conversed with some of the Pharisees , and with John's disciples . While there , Jairus solicited his aid in behalf of his daughter ; and on his way to the house , a poor woman was healed of her infirmity on touching his garment . After raising the daughter of Jai ' rus , he returned to Matthew's house , and restored sight to two blind men ; and , immediately after , healed a dumb demoniac .
Supposing the Feast of Tabernacles to have begun a little before the middle of September , the events already summarily related may have occurred by the latter part of October . About that time , probably , our Lord began a second progress through Galilee ; at the commencement of which he appears to have chosen the Twelve ; and about a fortnight after to have sent them out on their mission , from near Capernaum .
Part V . Occurrences between the Mission of the Twelve and the Death of the Baptist , which caused the complete Return of the Twelve . In this part of our Lord ' s Ministry , we are left much to conjecture ; and yet , allowing the general correctness of our arrangement , there can be little hesitation respecting the real course of events during the absence of the
Twelve . After sending them forth , we learn from St . Matthew ( ch . xi . ) that our Lord departed to teach in their cities ; and soon after two of the disciples of the . Baptist came to him , from their Master , to ask whether he were the promised Messiah . Immediately after St . Luke ' s record of this circumstance ( ch . vii . 18—35 ) , we find his account of our Lord ' s visit to Simon the Pharisee , with the interesting occurrence at his house ; and for
the same reasons as have been given in reference to the raising of the widow ' s son at Nain , we place this visit immediately after the departure of John ' s disciples . —Comparing the situation of our Lord ' s reproof to the unbelieving cities , in St . Luke ' s Gospel ( ch . x . 13 ) , where it follows the mission of the Seventy , with its place in Matthew's , ( ch . xi . 20 , ) where it follows the message of the Baptist—and perceiving nothing inconsistent
with the probable order of events—we consider the mission of the Seventy as following the message of the Baptist , and occurring before the upbraiding of the cities . It is probable that our Lord purposed to spend some time in the Perea , as he actually did ; and that he sent the Seventy , two and two , to the various cities and places which he expected to visit . * According to our subsidiary principle ( p . 453 ) , we suppose that it was not long after that
