¹⁸ As he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

¹⁹ And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.

²⁰ And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.

²¹ For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.

²² But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,

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

²⁵ And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.

²⁶ And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.

²² And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived.
