Matthew 9:18-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Daughter of Jairus

¹⁸ As he was saying these things to them, there was a ruler who came, bowed down to him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come, place your hand on her, and she will live.”

¹⁹ Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples. ²⁰ Just then, a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years came up from behind and touched the fringe of his garment. ²¹ For she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be healed.”

²² When Jesus turned around and saw her, he said, “Take heart, daughter! Your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.

²³ When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd, ²⁴ he said to them, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but is sleeping.”

But they laughed at him.

²⁵ When the crowd was sent out of the house, Jesus went in, took the girl by the hand, and she was raised. ²⁶ News of this went out through the entire region.
