17. Neither do they pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wineskins rupture, and the wine pours out, and the wineskins are destroyed. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins. And so, both are preserved."
18. As he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler approached and adored him, saying: "Lord, my daughter has recently passed away. But come and impose your hand upon her, and she will live."
19. And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with his disciples.
20. And behold, a woman, who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, approached from behind and touched the hem of his garment.
21. For she said within herself, "If I will touch even his garment, I shall be saved."
22. But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: "Be strengthened in faith, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.
23. And when Jesus had arrived in the house of the ruler, and he had seen the musicians and the tumultuous crowd,
24. he said, "Depart. For the girl is not dead, but asleep." And they derided him.
25. And when the crowd had been sent away, he entered. And he took her by the hand. And the girl rose up.
26. And the news of this went out to that entire land.
27. And as Jesus passed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, "Take pity on us, Son of David."
28. And when he had arrived at the house, the blind men approached him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you trust that I am able to do this for you?" They say to him, "Certainly, Lord."
