========================
Matthew 9:18-26
========================
18While he was saying this, a
synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just
died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.”
19Jesus got up and went with
him, and so did his disciples.
20Just then a woman who had
been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the
edge of his cloak.
21She said to herself, “If I
only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
22Jesus turned and saw her.
“Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was
healed at that moment.
23When Jesus entered the
synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,
24he said, “Go away. The girl
is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him.
25After the crowd had been
put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
26News of this spread through
all that region.
