11. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12. But when Jesus heard that, he said to them, They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are sick.

21. For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22. But Jesus turned himself 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,
