To start printing from the 27th line from the matching line (inclusive) instead of the 3rd line after a matching line, just change 3 to 27. 

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17908555/printing-with-sed-or-awk-a-line-following-a-matching-pattern/17914105#17914105 for more information on the above approach and more ways to do something after a match.
