Matthew 9:16-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
16 And no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the fullness of it takes[a] from the garment and a worse tear takes place. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise indeed the wineskins are burst, and the wine spills out and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into fresh[b] wineskins, and both are preserved”.
Jesus Raises a Girl After a Public Request, And Heals a Woman With a Secret Request
18 While He was speaking these things to them, behold— one [synagogue] official, having come, was prostrating-himself before Him, saying that “My daughter just-now came-to-an-end[c]. But having come, lay Your hand on her, and she will live”.
