Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, — When it shrinks, — Mat_9:16. And the rent is made worse.

And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: This was while he was on the way to the ruler’s house.

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

And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
