11. And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?
12. But Jesus hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
13. But go and learn what that is--I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous men but sinners.
14. Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?
15. And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16. But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.
17. Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.
18. As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.
19. And Jesus rose up and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20. And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux for twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;
21. for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.
22. But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.
23. And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,
24. he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.
25. But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.
26. And the fame of it went out into all that land.
27. And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind men followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.
28. And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
29. Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.
