14. Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?
15. And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
16. And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fullness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent.
17. Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.
18. As he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19. And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.
20. And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.
21. For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.
22. But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23. And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,
24. He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25. And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.
26. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.
27. And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David.
28. And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
29. Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.
30. And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this.
