Matthew 9:18-26

18While He was saying these things to them, a ruler (synagogue official) entered [the house] and kneeled down and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just now died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live.”

19Jesus got up and began to accompany the ruler, with His disciples.

20Then a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the [tassel] fringe of His outer robe;

21for she had been saying to herself, “If I only touch His outer robe, I will be healed.”

22But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Take courage, daughter; your [personal trust and confident] faith [in Me] has made you well.” And at once the woman was [completely] healed.

23When Jesus came to the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players [who were professional, hired mourners] and the [grieving] crowd making an uproar,

24He said, “Go away; for the girl is not dead, but is sleeping.” And they laughed and jeered at Him.

25But when the crowd had been sent outside, Jesus went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

26And the news about this spread throughout all that district.
