Matthew 9:18-26 - A Woman Healed And A Daughter Raised

¹⁸ As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live. ¹⁹ And Jesus rose up and followed him, and so did his disciples.

²⁰ And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux for twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment; ²¹ for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.

²² But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult, ²⁴ he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him. ²⁵ But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up. ²⁶ And the fame of it went out into all that land.

²¹ And Jesus having passed over in the ship again to the other side, a great crowd gathered to him; and he was by the sea. ²² And behold there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and seeing him, falls down at his feet; ²³ and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; I pray that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.

²⁴ And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed on him. ²⁵ And a certain woman who had had a flux of blood twelve years, ²⁶ and had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent everything she had and had found no advantage from it, but had rather got worse, ²⁷ having heard concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his clothes; ²⁸ for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed. ²⁹ And immediately her fountain of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured from the scourge.

³⁰ And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes?

³¹ And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd pressing on thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

³² And he looked round about to see her who had done this. ³³ But the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. ³⁴ And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge.

³⁵ While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further?

³⁶ But Jesus immediately, having heard the word spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe. ³⁷ And he suffered no one to accompany him save Peter and James, and John the brother of James. ³⁸ And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees the tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly. ³⁹ And entering in he says to them, Why do ye make a tumult and weep? the child has not died, but sleeps.

⁴⁰ And they derided him. But he, having put them all out, takes with him the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying. ⁴¹ And having laid hold of the hand of the child, he says to her, Talitha koumi, which is, interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, Arise. ⁴² And immediately the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment. ⁴³ And he charged them much that no one should know this; and he desired that something should be given her to eat.

⁴⁰ And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the crowd received him gladly, for they were all expecting him. ⁴¹ And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue, and falling at the feet of Jesus besought him to come to his house, ⁴² because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as he went the crowds thronged him. ⁴³ And a woman who had a flux of blood since twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, could not be cured by any one, ⁴⁴ coming up behind, touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux of blood stopped.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who has touched me? But all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the crowds close thee in and press upon thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me?

⁴⁶ And Jesus said, Some one has touched me, for I have known that power has gone out from me. ⁴⁷ And the woman, seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee; go in peace.

⁴⁹ While he was yet speaking, comes some one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher.

⁵⁰ But Jesus, hearing it, answered him saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made well. ⁵¹ And when he came to the house he suffered no one to go in but Peter and John and James and the father of the child and the mother. ⁵² And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said, Do not weep, for she has not died, but sleeps.

⁵³ And they derided him, knowing that she had died. ⁵⁴ But he, having turned them all out and taking hold of her hand, cried saying, Child, arise. ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and immediately she rose up; and he commanded something to eat to be given to her. ⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed; but he enjoined them to tell no one what had happened.
