Mt 9, Verses 23–26English original
And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
(in Luc. 8. 52.) For by the ancient custom minstrels were engaged to make lamentation for the dead.
