2nd Sunday after Pentecost

⁹And as Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. ¹⁰And it happened as he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. ¹¹And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" ¹²When he heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. ¹³But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." ¹⁴Then John's disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?" ¹⁵And Jesus 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. ¹⁶And 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. ¹⁷Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved." ¹⁸While he told 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." ¹⁹And Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples. ²⁰And behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; ²¹for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well." ²²But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour. ²³And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder, ²⁴he said, "Make room, because the girl is not dead, but sleeping." They were ridiculing him. ²⁵But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose. ²⁶And the report of this went out into all that land.
