is with them? 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 pulls away from the garment, and the tear
is made worse. 17 Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins; if they do, the skins
burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins are ruined. But they put new wine into new
wineskins, and so both are preserved."
18 While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came and knelt before him,
saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her and she will live."
19 So Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman
who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched
the fringe of his garment. 21 For she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I shall
be made well." 22 Jesus turned, and when he saw her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your
faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that moment. 23 When
Jesus came to the ruler's house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd, 24 he said,
"Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. 25 But when the
crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26
And the report of this went through all that region.

27 And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying out, "Have
mercy on us, Son of David." 28 When he had entered 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 be it done to
you." 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, "See that no one
knows it." 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.
32 As they were going out, behold, a mute and demon-possessed man was brought to him.
33 And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds
marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel." 34 But the Pharisees said,
"He casts out demons by the prince of demons."
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness. 36
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and
helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is
plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out
laborers into his harvest."

1 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits,
to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness. 2 The names of the twelve
apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew
the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot, and
Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them: "Do not go among the Gentiles, or
enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And preach as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 Heal the sick,
cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
9 Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts, 10 nor bag for your journey, nor two
tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the worker is worthy of his food. 11 Now whatever
village or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go out. 12
As you enter the house, give it your greeting. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your
peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And if any one
will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you
leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable on the day of
judgment for the land of
