      بر زبان مبارک رفت که پادری! حضرت عیسی چند مرده را زنده كرده باشد؟ پادری عرضه داشت كرد كه زنده كردن سه تن را در انجیل ما مطرح است اما از بعضی عبارات او مفهوم میشود كه بسیار مرده را زنده كرده باشد اما معلوم نیست كه چند كس را زنده كرده است!

      The blessed tongue [of the emperor] said, "Padre! How many people did honored Jesus raise from the dead?" The padre humbly responded, "It is mentioned in our Gospels that he raised three people from the dead. But from some of the statements in there, it becomes apparent that he must [really] have resurrected many [more]. But it is not known how many people he resurrected!"
