Mar. 2, 18.
Lu. 5, 33.* came to him the Disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees ″ fast often, but thy Disciples do not fast? 15And Jesus sayd to them: Can the children of the Bridegroome mourne, as long as the Bridegroome is with them? But the dayes wil come when the Bridegroome shal be taken away from them, and [1] then they shal fast. 16And no body putteth a peece of raw cloth to an old garment. For he taketh away the peecing therof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent. 17Neither do they put ″ new wine into old bottels. Otherwise the bottels breake, and the wine runneth out, and the bottels perish. But new wine they put into new bottels: and both are preserved togeather.

And they laughed him to skorne. 25And when the multitude was put forth, he entred in, and held her hand. And the maid arose. 26And this bruit went forth into al that countrie.
27And as Jesus passed forth from thence, there folowed him two blinde men crying and saying: Have mercie on us, O sonne of David. 28And when he was come to the house, the blind came to him. And Jesus sayth to them, ″ Do you beleeve, that I can doe this unto you? They say to him: Yea Lord. 29Then he touched their eyes, saying: According to your faith, be it done to you. 30And their eyes were opened, and Jesus threatened them, saying: See that no man know it. 31But they went forth, and bruited him in al that countrie.
