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

¹⁸ While he spoke these things unto them, behold, a certain ruler came and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. ¹⁹ And Jesus arose and followed him, and so did his disciples.

²⁰ And, behold, a woman who was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years came behind him and touched the hem of his garment; ²¹ for she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be free.

²² But Jesus turned around, and when he saw her, he said, Trust, daughter; thy faith has made thee free. And the woman was free from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, ²⁴ he said unto them, Give place, for the maid is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed him to scorn. ²⁵ But when the people were put forth, he went in and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. ²⁶ And the fame of this went abroad into all that land.

²¹ And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, a great multitude gathered unto him, and he was near the sea. ²² And one of the princes of the synagogue came, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet ²³ and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death; come and lay thy hands on her that she may be saved, and she shall live.

²⁴ And Jesus went with him; and a great multitude followed him and thronged him. ²⁵ And a certain woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years ²⁶ and had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse; ²⁷ when she had heard of Jesus, came from behind among the multitude and touched his garment. ²⁸ For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be saved. ²⁹ And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

³⁰ And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned to the crowd and said, Who touched my clothes?

³¹ And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee and sayest thou, Who touched me?

³² And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. ³³ But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him and told him all the truth. ³⁴ And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith has made thee saved; go in peace and remain whole of thy plague.

³⁵ While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

³⁶ As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said unto the prince of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. ³⁷ And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. ³⁸ And they came to the house of the prince of the synagogue and saw the tumult and those that wept and wailed greatly. ³⁹ And when he was come in, he said unto them, Why make ye this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleeps.

⁴⁰ And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the damsel and those that were with him and entered in where the damsel was lying. ⁴¹ And taking the damsel by the hand, he said unto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. ⁴² And straightway the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. ⁴³ And he charged them straitly that no one should know it and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

⁴⁰ And it came to pass that when Jesus returned, the people received him, for they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a prince of the synagogue, and he fell down at Jesus' feet and besought him that he would come into his house; ⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he went, the people thronged him. ⁴³ And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians but could not be healed by any, ⁴⁴ came behind him and touched the border of his garment, and immediately her issue of blood stopped.

⁴⁵ Then Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and those that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

⁴⁶ And Jesus said, Someone has touched me, for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. ⁴⁷ And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately. ⁴⁸ And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith has made thee whole; go in peace.

⁴⁹ While he yet spoke, there came one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

⁵⁰ But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not; only believe, and she shall be made whole. ⁵¹ And when he came into the house, he allowed no one to go in except Peter and James and John and the father and the mother of the maiden. ⁵² And all wept and bewailed her, but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.

⁵³ And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ And he put them all out and took her by the hand and called, saying, Maid, arise. ⁵⁵ Then her spirit returned, and she arose straightway, and he commanded to give her food. ⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished, but he charged them that they should tell no one what was done.
