And hee answered, Goe ye. 3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and goe with thy seruants. And he answered, I will goe. 4 So hee went with them: and when they came to Iordane, they cut downe wood. 5 But as one was felling a beame, the axe head fell into the water: and hee cryed, and sayd, Alas master, for it was borrowed. 6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? and hee shewed him the place: and he cut downe a sticke, and cast it in thither, and the yron did swimme. 7 Therefore said he, Take it vp to thee: And hee put out his hand, and tooke it.
