12. When Yeshua heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13. But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
14. Then Yochanan’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
15. Yeshua said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16. No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
17. Neither do people put new wine into old wine skins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wine skins, and both are preserved.”
18. While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshipped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19. Yeshua got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
20. Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
21. for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22. But Yeshua, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23. When Yeshua came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24. he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.”They were ridiculing him.
25. But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26. The report of this went out into all that land.
