A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed

18 As he was telling them these things,(A) suddenly one of the leaders came and knelt down before him, saying, “My daughter just died,[a] but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”(B) 19 So Jesus and his disciples got up and followed(C) him.

20 Just then, a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years approached from behind and touched the end of his robe,(D) 21 for she said to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I’ll be made well.”[b](E)

22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Have courage, daughter,” he said. “Your faith has saved you.”[c](F) And the woman was made well from that moment.[d]

23 When Jesus came to the leader’s house, he saw the flute players and a crowd lamenting loudly.(G) 24 “Leave,” he said, “because the girl is not dead but asleep.”(H) And they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.(I) 26 Then news of this spread throughout that whole area.(J)

Jesus Heals a Woman and Resurrects a Girl(A)

18 While Jesus[a] was telling them these things, an official came up and fell down before him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 So Jesus got up and followed him, along with his disciples.

20 Just then a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel of his garment, 21 because she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch his robe, I will get well.”

22 When Jesus turned and saw her, he said, “Be courageous, daughter! Your faith has made you well.” And from that very hour the woman was well.

23 When Jesus came to the official’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, “Go away! The young lady hasn’t died, but is sleeping.” But they ridiculed him with laughter. 25 When the crowd had been driven outside, he went in, took her by the hand, and the young lady got up. 26 The news of this spread throughout that land.

Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(A)

18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him(B) and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her,(C) and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.

20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.(D) 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”

22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart,(E) daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.”(F) And the woman was healed at that moment.(G)

23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,(H) 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead(I) but asleep.”(J) But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.(K) 26 News of this spread through all that region.(L)
