John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
[15] 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.
[16] 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.
[17] 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.
[18] 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.
[19]
And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
[20] And, behold, a woman, which was
diseased 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 may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
[22] 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.
[23] And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and
saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
[24] He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not
dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
[25] But when the people were 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
land.
[27] And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son
of David, have mercy on us.
[28] And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and
Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
[29] Then
touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
[30] And their eyes were opened; and
Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
[31] But they, when they were departed,
spread abroad his fame in all that country.
[32] As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb
man possessed with a devil.
[33] And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes
marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
[34] But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through
the prince of the devils.
[35] And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the
people.
[36] But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they
fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
[37] Then saith he unto his disciples,
The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
[38] Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Matt.10
[1] And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits,
to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
[2] Now the names of the
twelve apostles are these; The 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 publican; James
the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
[4] Simon the Canaanite, and
Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
[5] These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying,
Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
[6] But go rather
to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[7] And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
hand.
[8] Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely
give.
[9] Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
[10] Nor scrip for your journey, neither
two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
[11] And into whatsoever
city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
[12] And when
ye come into an house, salute it.
[13] And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it
be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
[14] And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your
words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
[15] Verily I say unto
you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for
that city.
[16] Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents,
and harmless as doves.
[17] But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will
scourge you in their synagogues;
[18] And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake,
for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
[19] But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or
what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
[20] For it is not ye
