Matthew 9:18-25

Christian Standard Bible

A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed

¹⁸ As he was telling them these things,^(A) suddenly one of the leaders came and knelt down before him, saying, “My daughter just died,^[a] but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”^{(B) 19} So Jesus and his disciples got up and followed^(C) him.

²⁰ Just then, a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years approached from behind and touched the end of his robe,^{(D) 21} for she said to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I’ll be made well.”^[b](E)

²² Jesus turned and saw her. “Have courage, daughter,” he said. “Your faith has saved you.”^[c](F) And the woman was made well from that moment.^[d]

²³ When Jesus came to the leader’s house, he saw the flute players and a crowd lamenting loudly.^{(G) 24} “Leave,” he said, “because the girl is not dead but asleep.”^(H) And they laughed at him. ²⁵ After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.^(I)
