Old/New Testament

Jesus Raises a Girl After a Public Request, And Heals a Woman With a Secret Request

¹⁸ While He was speaking these things to them, behold— one [synagogue] official, having come, was prostrating-himself before Him, saying that “My daughter just-now came-to-an-end^[a]. But having come, lay Your hand on her, and she will live”. ¹⁹ And having arisen, Jesus followed him, and [so did] His disciples. ²⁰ And behold— a woman having-a-bloody-discharge^[b] for twelve years, having approached from behind, touched the tassel of His garment. ²¹ For she was saying within herself, “If I only touch His garment, I will be restored^[c]”. ²² But Jesus, having turned and having seen her, said, “Take-courage, daughter. Your faith has restored you”. And the woman was restored from that hour. ²³ And Jesus, having come into the house of the official, and having seen the flute-players and the crowd being thrown-into-a-commotion^[d], ²⁴ was saying “Go away. For the little-girl did not die, but is sleeping”. And they were laughing-scornfully at Him. ²⁵ But when the crowd was put out, having gone in, He took-hold-of her hand and the little girl arose. ²⁶ And this news went out into that whole land.

Jesus Gives Sight To The Blind

²⁷ And while Jesus was passing on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying-out and saying, “Have-mercy-on us, Son of David!” ²⁸ And He having gone into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus says to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They say to Him, “Yes, Master”. ²⁹ Then He touched their eyes, saying, “Let it be done to you according-to^[e] your faith”. ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly-commanded^[f] them, saying, “See that no one knows it ”. ³¹ But the ones, having gone forth, widely-spread [the news about] Him in that whole land.

Jesus Heals The Mute

³² And while they were going forth, behold— they brought to Him a mute man being demon-possessed. ³³ And the demon having been cast-out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, “It never was visible^[g] like this in Israel!” ³⁴ But the Pharisees were saying, “He is casting out the demons by^[h] the ruler of the demons”.

The King Sends Out Messengers To The Nation: Divine Compassion Reaches Out To The People

³⁵ And Jesus was going around all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good-news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every infirmity. ³⁶ And having seen the crowds, He felt-deep-feelings [of compassion] concerning them, because they had been troubled^[i] and thrown-forth^[j] like sheep not having a shepherd. ³⁷ Then He says to His disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few! ³⁸ Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest that He send-out workers into His harvest”.
