Matthew 9:18-25

Goodspeed(i) 18 Just as he said this to them, an official came up and bowing low before him said to him, "My daughter has just died. But come! Lay your hand on her and she will come to life!" 19 And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. 20 And a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak. 21 For she said to herself, "If I can just touch his cloak, I will get well." 22 And Jesus turned and saw her, and he said, "Courage, my daughter! Your faith has cured you!" And from that time the woman was well. 23 When Jesus reached the official's house, and saw the flute-players and the disturbance the crowd was making, 24 he said, "You must go away, for the girl is not dead; she is asleep." And they laughed at him. 25 But when he had driven the people out, he went in and grasped her hand, and the girl got up.
