Matthew 9:18-26

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

18 ¹While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and ²knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live. ”

19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.

20 And behold, a woman ³who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched ⁴the fringe of his garment,

21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well. ”

22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ⁵“Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well. ” ⁶And instantly^[a] the woman was made well.

23 And when Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw ⁷the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,

24 he said, “Go away, for ⁸the girl is not dead but ⁹sleeping. ”And they laughed at him.

25 But ¹⁰when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and ¹¹took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

26 And the report of this went through all that district.
