Mud volcanoes are not like other volcanoes because they do not erupt lava.

But they have similar shape, and they do erupt with hot muddy water!

Jesus' Miracles - Healing Lepers


We already learned about Jesus healing the blind.

Another miracle Jesus performed was healing lepers.

A leper was someone who had a disease called leprosy.
It was a really horrible disease, and if you had it no one would touch you and you had to live all by yourself away from other people.
There was no cure for this disease!

Jesus healed people with leprosy, and people were amazed!
