Book of Common Prayer

The diversity of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are given for the comfort and edifying of one another, as the members of a person’s body serve one another.

12 In spiritual things, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. ² You know that you were Gentiles, and went your ways to dumb idols even as you were led. ³ Therefore I tell you that no one speaking in the Spirit of God repudiates Jesus. Also, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.

⁴ There are different gifts indeed, yet but one Spirit. ⁵ And there are different offices, and yet but one Lord. ⁶ And there are different works, and yet but one God, who works all things that are wrought in all creatures. ⁷ The gifts of the Spirit are given to each person to profit the congregation. ⁸ To one is given, through the Spirit, the utterance of wisdom. To another is given the utterance of knowledge by the same Spirit. ⁹ To another is given faith by the same Spirit, to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit, ¹⁰ to another power to do miracles, to another prophecy, to another judgment of spirits, to another divers tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ And the very same Spirit works all these, giving to each person particular gifts as he so wills.

¹⁸ While he was thus speaking to them, a certain leader came and did reverence to him, saying, My daughter is even now deceased. But come and lay your hand on her, and she will live. ¹⁹ And Jesus arose and followed him with his disciples.

²⁰ And behold, a woman who had been diseased for 12 years with an issue of blood came up behind him and touched the hem of his vesture. ²¹ For she said in herself, If I may touch but even his vesture only, I will be healed. ²² Then Jesus, turning about and seeing her, said, Daughter, be of good comfort; your faith has made you whole. And she was healed even that same hour.

²³ And when Jesus came into the leader’s house and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise ²⁴ he said to them, All of you, go away, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they laughed him to scorn. ²⁵ But as soon as the people were put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. ²⁶ And news of this spread throughout all that land.
