A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

18 (A)While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and (B)knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman (C)who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched (D)the fringe of his garment, 21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, (E)“Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” (F)And instantly[a] the woman was made well. 23 And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw (G)the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, “Go away, for (H)the girl is not dead but (I)sleeping.” And they laughed at him. 25 But (J)when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and (K)took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 And the report of this went through all that district.

A ruler’s daughter and the woman who touched Jesus’ clothes

18 While Jesus was speaking to them, a ruler came and knelt in front of him, saying, “My daughter has just died. But come and place your hand on her, and she’ll live.” 19 So Jesus and his disciples got up and went with him. 20 Then a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and touched the hem of his clothes. 21 She thought, If I only touch his robe I’ll be healed.

22 When Jesus turned and saw her, he said, “Be encouraged, daughter. Your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that time on.

23 When Jesus went into the ruler’s house, he saw the flute players and the distressed crowd. 24 He said, “Go away, because the little girl isn’t dead but is asleep”; but they laughed at him. 25 After he had sent the crowd away, Jesus went in and touched her hand, and the little girl rose up. 26 News about this spread throughout that whole region.
