¹⁸ While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

¹⁹ And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.

²⁰ And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:

²¹ for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole.

²² But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult,

²⁴ he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

²⁵ But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose.

²⁶ And the fame hereof went forth into all that land.

³⁵ Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
