Matthew 9:18-28

Miracles of Healing

18 ¹While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and ²bowed down before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live."

19 Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.

20 And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched ³the fringe of His cloak;

21 for she was saying to herself, "If I only ⁴touch His garment, I will get well."

22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, "Daughter, ⁵take courage; ⁶your faith has made you well." At once * the woman was made well.

23 When Jesus came into the official's house, and saw ⁷the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

24 He said, "Leave; for the girl ⁸has not died, but is asleep." And they began laughing at Him.

25 But ⁹when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and ¹⁰took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

26 ¹¹This news spread throughout all that land.

27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, "Have mercy on us, ¹²Son of David!"

28 When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

Matthew 9:18-28 In-Context

16 "But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.

17 "Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
