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

¹⁸ [As] he was saying these [things] to them, behold, one of the rulers came [and] knelt down before him, saying, "My daughter has just now died, but come, place your hand on her and she will live!" ¹⁹ And Jesus and his disciples got up [and] followed him.

²⁰ And behold, a woman who had been suffering with a hemorrhage twelve years approached from behind [and] touched the edge of his cloak, ²¹ for she said to herself, "If only I touch his cloak I will be healed."

²² But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Have courage, daughter! Your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that hour.

²³ And [when] Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the disorderly crowd, ²⁴ he said, "Go away, because the girl is not dead, but is sleeping." And they ridiculed him. ²⁵ But when the crowd had been sent out, he entered [and] took her hand, and the girl got up. ²⁶ And this report went out into that whole region.

²¹ And [after] Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to him, and he was beside the sea. ²² And one of the rulers of the synagogue came--Jairus by name--and [when he] saw him, he fell down at his feet. ²³ And he was imploring him many [times], saying, "My little daughter {is at the point of death}! Come, lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and will live."

²⁴ And he went with him, and a large crowd was following him and pressing around him. ²⁵ And [there was] a woman who was {suffering from hemorrhages} twelve years. ²⁶ And she had endured many [things] under many physicians, and had spent {all that she had} and had received no [help] at all, but instead {became worse}. ²⁷ [When she] heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind [him] [and] touched his cloak, ²⁸ for she was saying, "If I touch just his clothing, I will be healed!" ²⁹ And immediately her {hemorrhage stopped} and she realized in her body that she was healed of her suffering.

³⁰ And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself [that] power had gone out from himself, turned around in the crowd [and] said, "Who touched my clothing?"

³¹ And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say 'Who touched me?'"

³² And he was looking around to see the one who had done this. ³³ So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. ³⁴ But he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering."

³⁵ [While] he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler's [house] saying, "Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?"

³⁶ But Jesus, ignoring {what was said}, told the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid--only believe!" ³⁷ And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James. ³⁸ And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and [people] weeping and wailing loudly. ³⁹ And [when he] entered, he said to them, "Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping."

⁴⁰ And they began laughing at him. But he sent [them] all out [and] took along the father and mother of the child, and those [who were] with him, and went in to where the child was. ⁴¹ And taking hold of the child's hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"), ⁴² and immediately the girl stood up and began walking around (for she was twelve years old). And {immediately they were utterly and completely astonished}. ⁴³ And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her [something] to eat.

⁴⁰ Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ And behold, a man {who was named} Jairus came, and this man was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus [and] began imploring him to come to his house, ⁴² because {he had} an only daughter, about twelve years [old], and she was dying. Now as he was going, the crowds were pressing against him. ⁴³ And a woman who was {suffering from hemorrhages} for twelve years (who, [although she] had spent all [her] assets on physicians, was not able to be healed by anyone) ⁴⁴ came up behind [him] [and] touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately {her hemorrhaging} stopped.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, "Who [is] the one who touched me?" And [when they] all denied [it], Peter said, "Master, the crowds are pressing you hard and crowding [you]!"

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, because I know power has gone out from me." ⁴⁷ And [when] the woman saw that she did not escape notice, she came trembling and falling down before him. In the presence of all the people, she told for what reason she had touched him, and that she was healed immediately. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

⁴⁹ [While] he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue ruler's [house], saying, "Your daughter is dead! Trouble the Teacher no longer!"

⁵⁰ But Jesus, [when he] heard [this], replied to him, "Do not be afraid! Only believe, and she will be healed." ⁵¹ Now [when he] came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child. ⁵² And they were all weeping and mourning for her, but he said, "Do not weep! For she is not dead, but is sleeping."

⁵³ And they began laughing at him, [because they] knew that she was dead. ⁵⁴ But he took her hand [and] called, saying, "Child, get up." ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately, and he ordered [something] to be given to her to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
