A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed (MAT 9:18-26)

[9:18] While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

[9:19] And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.

[9:20] And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment,

[9:21] for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.”

[9:22] Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.

[9:23] And when Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,

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

[9:25] But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

[9:26] And the report of this went through all that district.
