Her bleeding stopped at once, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her illness.

So the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came forward fearfully, fell down trembling in front of him, and told him the whole truth.

He told her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed from your illness."

So she went out and asked her mother, "What should I ask for?" Her mother replied, "The head of John the Baptist."

Immediately the girl hurried back to the king with her request, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

But he kept telling her, "First let the children be filled. It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the puppies."

Then he told her, "Because you have said this, go! The demon has left your daughter."

So she went home and found her child lying in bed, and the demon was gone.

His disciples answered him, "Where could anyone get enough bread to feed these people out here in the wilderness?"

Then he told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power."

Then Peter told Jesus, "Rabbi, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

I tell all of you with certainty, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and he told his disciples, "Sit down here while I pray."
