Matthew 9:18-22

Contemporary English Version

A Dying Girl and a Sick Woman

(Mark 5.21-43; Luke 8.40-56)

¹⁸ While Jesus was still speaking, an official came and knelt in front of him. The man said, “My daughter has just now died! Please come and place your hand on her. Then she will live again.”

¹⁹ Jesus and his disciples got up and went with the man.

²⁰ A woman who had been bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and barely touched his clothes. ²¹ She had said to herself, “If I can just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”

²² Jesus turned. He saw the woman and said, “Don't worry! You are now healed because of your faith.” At that moment she was healed.
