¹⁸ While He spoke these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter is even now dead, but come and lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live.”

¹⁹ And Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.

²⁰ And behold, a woman who was diseased with an issue of blood for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the hem of His garment;

²¹ for she said to herself, “If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole.”

²² But Jesus turned about, and when He saw her, He said, “Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.” And the woman was made whole from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

²⁴ He said unto them, “Give way, for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.” And they laughed Him to scorn.

²⁵ But when the people were put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

²⁶ And the fame thereof went abroad throughout all the land.
