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

¹⁸ While he was thus speaking to them, lo! a certain ruler came in and bowed down before him, saying, My daughter just now died; but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she will live. ¹⁹ And Jesus arose and followed him, with his disciples.

²⁰ And, lo! a woman, who had had an issue of blood for twelve years, came up behind, and touched the fringe of his garment. ²¹ For she said within herself, If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well.

²² And he turned round, and seeing her, said, Be of good cheer, daughter; thy faith hath made thee well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

²³ And Jesus coming into the rulers house, and seeing the minstrels, and the crowd making a noise, ²⁴ said, Withdraw; for the girl is not dead, but is sleeping. And they laughed him to scorn. ²⁵ But when the crowd had been put out, he went in, and took hold of her hand; and the girl arose. ²⁶ And the report of this went abroad into all that country.

²¹ And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the ether side, a great multitude gathered about him; and he was by the lake. ²² And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, ²³ and besought him much, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death; I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be saved and live.

²⁴ And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and pressed upon him. ²⁵ And a woman, who had had an issue of blood twelve years, ²⁶ and had undergone much at the hands of many physicians, and spent all that she had, and was not at all benefited, but rather grew worse, ²⁷ having heard about Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. ²⁸ For she said, If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well. ²⁹ And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she perceived in her body that she was cured of her plague.

³⁰ And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, turned round in the crowed, and said, Who touched my garments?

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

³² And he looked round to see her who had done this. ³³ But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. ³⁴ And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace, and be recovered from thy plague.

³⁵ While he was yet speaking, there came from the house I of the ruler of the synagogue some who said, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the Teacher any further?

³⁶ And Jesus, overhearing those words, saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe. ³⁷ And he suffered no one to follow him except Peter and James, and John the brother of James. ³⁸ And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly. ³⁹ And going in, he saith to them, Why do ye make this confusion and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.

⁴⁰ And they laughed him to scorn. But putting them all out, he taketh the father of the child, and the mother, and those who were with him, and entereth where the child was. ⁴¹ And taking hold of the hand of the child, he saith to her, Talitha, kum; which is, when interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, arise! ⁴² And immediately the damsel arose and walked; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were greatly astonished. ⁴³ And he charged them strictly that no one should know it, and bade that something should be given her to eat.

⁴⁰ And it came to pass when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ And lo! there came a man, named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come into his house; ⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitudes thronged him. ⁴³ And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be cured by any one, ⁴⁴ came up behind and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her issue of blood ceased.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes are thronging thee, and pressing against thee.

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I perceived that power went out from me. ⁴⁷ And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured immediately. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.

⁴⁹ While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher any further.

⁵⁰ But Jesus hearing this, answered him, Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well. ⁵¹ And going into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James, and the father of the maiden, and the mother. ⁵² And all were weeping, and lamenting for her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeping.

⁵³ And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ But he took hold of her hand, and called aloud, saying, Maiden, arise! ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose. And he ordered food to be given to her. ⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
