Matthew 9:18-34

New International Version - UK

Jesus raises a dead girl and heals a sick woman

¹⁸ While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, ‘My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.’ ¹⁹ Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.

²⁰ Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. ²¹ She said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.’

²² Jesus turned and saw her. ‘Take heart, daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has healed you.’ And the woman was healed at that moment.

²³ When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and the people playing pipes, ²⁴ he said, ‘Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.’ But they laughed at him. ²⁵ After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. ²⁶ News of this spread through all that region.

Jesus heals the blind and the mute

²⁷ As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David!’

²⁸ When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’

‘Yes, Lord,’ they replied.

²⁹ Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith let it be done to you’; ³⁰ and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, ‘See that no one knows about this.’ ³¹ But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.

³² While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. ³³ And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, ‘Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.’

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, ‘It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.’
