16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for1 the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.
17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins1 break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
18 aWhile He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.”
19 So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His adisciples.
20 aAnd suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and btouched the hem of His garment.
21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”
22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; ayour faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 aWhen Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw bthe flute players and the noisy crowd wailing,
24 He said to them, a“Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him.
25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and atook her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26 And the areport of this went out into all that land.
Two Blind Men Healed
27 When Jesus departed from there, atwo blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, b“Son of David, have mercy on us!”
28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”
31 aBut when they had departed, they1 spread the news about Him in all that2 country.
A Mute Man Speaks
32 aAs they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed.
33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!”
34 But the Pharisees said, a“He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”
The Compassion of Jesus
35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, ateaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease1 among the people.
36 aBut when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were1 weary and scattered, blike sheep having no shepherd.
38 aTherefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
