A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed^(A)

^18 (B)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 ^(C)disciples.

^20 (D)And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and ^(E)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; ^(F)your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

^23 (G)When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw ^(H)the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, ²⁴ He said to them, ^(I)“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 ^(J)took her by the hand, and the girl arose. ²⁶ And the ^(K)report of this went out into all that land.

^41 (A)And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, ⁴² for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she ^(B)was dying.

But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. ^43 (C)Now a woman, having a ^(D)flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, ⁴⁴ came from behind and ^(E)touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter ^[a]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, ^[b]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived ^(F)power going out from Me.” ⁴⁷ Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸ And He said to her, “Daughter, ^[c]be of good cheer; ^(G)your faith has made you well. ^(H)Go in peace.”

^49 (I)While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the ^[d]Teacher.”

⁵⁰ But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; ^(J)only believe, and she will be made well.” ⁵¹ When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go ^[e]in except ^[f]Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. ⁵² Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, ^(K)“Do not weep; she is not dead, ^(L)but sleeping.” ⁵³ And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴ But He ^[g]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, ^(M)arise.” ⁵⁵ Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished, but ^(N)He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

¹⁵ And ^(A)after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men and brethren, if you have ^(B)any word of ^[a]exhortation for the people, say on.”
