He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

And when Jesus came into the ruler"s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

And he arose, and departed to his house.

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
