18 Whiles that Jesus spake these things to them, lo! a prince came, and worshipped him, and said [saying], Lord, my daughter is now dead; but come thou, and put thine hand on her, and she shall live [but come thou, and put thine hand upon her, and she shall live].

19 And Jesus rose, and his disciples, and followed him. [And Jesus rising followed him, and his disciples.]

20 And lo! a woman, that had a bloody flux twelve years, approached behind, and touched the hem of his cloak.[a]

21 For she said within herself, If I touch only the cloak of him[b], I shall be safe.

22 And Jesus turned, and saw her, and said, Daughter, have thou trust [Daughter, have trust]; thy faith hath made thee safe. And the woman was whole from that hour.

23 And when Jesus came into the house of the prince, and saw minstrels, and the people making noise,

24 he said, Go ye away [Go away], for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they scorned him.

25 And when the folk was put out, he went in, and held her hand; and the damsel rose [up].

26 And this fame went out into all 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)
