Nemo autem immittit commissuram panni rudis in vestimentum vetus: tollit enim plenitudinem ejus a vestimento, et pejor scissura fit.

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

So Jesus came into the ruler’s house, where he found mourners playing the flute, and the multitude thronging noisily;

and he said, Make room there; the child is not dead, she is asleep; and they laughed aloud at him.

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

But when the multitude had been turned away, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she rose up.

And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.

As Jesus was passing further on his way, he was followed by two blind men, who cried aloud, Son of David, have pity on us.

But they had no sooner gone out than they talked of him in all the country round.

But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country.

Egressis autem illis, ecce obtulerunt ei hominem mutum, dæmonium habentem.

And it chanced that, as they were going, a dumb man was brought to him, possessed with a devil.

And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil.

Et ejecto dæmonio, locutus est mutus, et miratæ sunt turbæ, dicentes: Numquam apparuit sic in Israël.

The devil was cast out, and the dumb man found speech; at which the multitudes were filled with amazement; Nothing like this, they said, was ever seen in Israel.

And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel.

Pharisæi autem dicebant: In principe dæmoniorum ejicit dæmones.

But the Pharisees said, It is the prince of the devils that enables him to cast the devils out.

Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.

Rogate ergo Dominum messis, ut mittat operarios in messem suam.

you must ask the Lord to whom the harvest belongs to send labourers out for the harvesting.

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
