Matthew 9:18-28

18 As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.

19 And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.

20 And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;

21 for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.

22 But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

23 And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,

24 he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.

25 But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.

26 And the fame of it went out into all that land.

27 And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.

28 And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
