While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, "My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life."
19
And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
20
But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
21
for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."
22
And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you." And the woman was restored to health from that moment.
23
Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
24
and He said, "Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at Him.
25
When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.
26
And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
