Matthew 9:18-26 (Gospel)
- 18
- While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.”
- 19
- So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.
- 20
- And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.
- 21
- For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”
- 22
- But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
- 23
- When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing,
- 24
- He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him.
- 25
- But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
- 26
- And the report of this went out into all that land.
