A Woman Healed and a Daughter Raised

18 As[a] he was saying these things to them, behold, one of the rulers came and[b] knelt down before him, saying, “My daughter has just now died, but come, place your hand on her and she will live!” 19 And Jesus and his disciples got up and[c] followed him. 20 And behold, a woman who had been suffering with a hemorrhage twelve years approached from behind and[d] touched the edge[e] of his cloak, 21 for she said to herself, “If only I touch his cloak I will be healed.” 22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Have courage, daughter! Your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that hour.

23 And when[f] Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the disorderly crowd, 24 he said, “Go away, because the girl is not dead, but is sleeping.” And they ridiculed him. 25 But when the crowd had been sent out, he entered and[g] took her hand, and the girl got up. 26 And this report went out into that whole region.

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

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