Matthew 9:18-26

18As he was telling them these things, suddenly one of the leaders came and knelt down before him, saying, “My daughter just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

19So Jesus and his disciples got up and followed him.

20Just then, a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years approached from behind and touched the end of his robe,

21for she said to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I’ll be made well.”

22Jesus turned and saw her. “Have courage, daughter,” he said. “Your faith has saved you.” And the woman was made well from that moment.

23When Jesus came to the leader’s house, he saw the flute players and a crowd lamenting loudly.

24“Leave,” he said, “because the girl is not dead but asleep.” And they laughed at him.

25After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

26Then news of this spread throughout that whole area.
