¹⁸ While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.

¹⁹ And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.

²⁰ And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:

²¹ Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

²² But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,

²⁴ He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.

²⁵ But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.

²⁶ And the news of it went out into all that land.

³⁹ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
