Matthew 9:18-26

International Standard Version

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.
