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

¹⁸ Just as he said this to them, an official came up and bowing low before him said to him, "My daughter has just died. But come! Lay your hand on her and she will come to life!" ¹⁹ And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples.

²⁰ And a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak. ²¹ For she said to herself, "If I can just touch his cloak, I will get well."

²² And Jesus turned and saw her, and he said, "Courage, my daughter! Your faith has cured you!" And from that time the woman was well.

²³ When Jesus reached the official's house, and saw the flute-players and the disturbance the crowd was making, ²⁴ he said, "You must go away, for the girl is not dead; she is asleep." And they laughed at him. ²⁵ But when he had driven the people out, he went in and grasped her hand, and the girl got up. ²⁶ And the news of this spread all over that part of the country.

²¹ When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him as he stood on the shore. ²² And a man named Jairus, the leader of a synagogue, came up and seeing him threw himself at his feet, ²³ and appealed to him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come, lay your hands on her, so that she may get well and live!"

²⁴ So he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and pressed around him. ²⁵ And a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, ²⁶ and had had a great deal of treatment from various doctors and had spent all that she had and had not been benefited at all but had actually grown worse, ²⁷ had heard about Jesus. And she came up in the crowd behind him and touched his coat, ²⁸ for she said, "If I can only touch his clothes, I shall get well." ²⁹ The hemorrhage stopped at once, and she felt in her body that she was cured.

³⁰ Jesus instantly perceived that healing power had passed from him, and he turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

³¹ His disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?' "

³² But he still looked around to see the person who had done it. ³³ The woman, knowing what had happened to her, came forward frightened and trembling, and threw herself down at his feet and told him the whole truth. ³⁴ And he said to her, "My daughter, it is your faith that has cured you. Go in peace and be free from your disease."

³⁵ Even as he spoke people came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why should you trouble the Master any further?"

³⁶ But Jesus paid no attention to what they said, but said to the leader of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, just have faith." ³⁷ He let no one go with him but Peter, James, and James's brother John. ³⁸ They came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, and there he found everything in confusion, and people weeping and wailing. ³⁹ And he went into the house and said to them, "What is the meaning of all this confusion and crying? The child is not dead, she is asleep."

⁴⁰ And they laughed at him. But he drove them all out, and took the child's father and mother and the men who were with him and went into the room where the child was lying. ⁴¹ And he grasped her hand and said to her, "Taleitha, koum!"??hat is to say, "Little girl, I tell you, get up!" ⁴² And the little girl immediately got up and walked about, for she was twelve years old. The moment they saw it they were utterly amazed. ⁴³ And he strictly forbade them to let anyone know of it, and told them to give her something to eat.

⁴⁰ When Jesus returned, the people welcomed him, for they were all watching for him. ⁴¹ And a man named Jairus came up??e was leader of the synagogue??nd he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house, ⁴² because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he was going, the crowds of people almost crushed him. ⁴³ And a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and whom nobody had been able to cure, ⁴⁴ came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak, and the hemorrhage stopped at once.

⁴⁵ Jesus said, "Who was it who touched me?" And as everyone denied having done so, Peter said, "Master, the people are all around you and they are crowding you."

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, "Somebody touched me, for I know that power passed from me." ⁴⁷ When the woman saw that she had not escaped his notice, she came forward trembling, and fell down before him, and before all the people told why she had touched him, and how she had been cured at once. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, "My daughter, it is your faith that has cured you. Go in peace."

⁴⁹ Even as he spoke someone came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Master any more."

⁵⁰ But Jesus heard it and said to him, "Do not be afraid; just have faith, and she will get well." ⁵¹ When he got to the house, he let no one go in with him but Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother. ⁵² And they were all wailing and beating their breasts for her. But he said, "Stop wailing! For she is not dead, she is asleep."

⁵³ And they laughed at him, for they knew that she was dead. ⁵⁴ But he grasped her hand and called out, "Get up, my child!" ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned and she stood up immediately, and he directed them to give her something to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
