Miracles of Healing

^18 (A)While He was saying these things to them, ^[a]a synagogue ^[b]official came and ^[c](B)bowed down before Him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live.” ¹⁹ Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.

²⁰ And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched ^(C)the ^[d]fringe of His ^[e]cloak; ²¹ for she was saying ^[f]to herself, “If I only ^(D)touch His garment, I will ^[g]get well.” ²² But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, ^(E)take courage; ^(F)your faith has ^[h]made you well.” ^[i]At once the woman was ^[j]made well.

²³ When Jesus came into the ^[k]official’s house, and saw ^(G)the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder, ²⁴ He said, “Leave; for the girl ^(H)has not died, but is asleep.” And they began laughing at Him. ²⁵ But ^(I)when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and ^(J)took her by the hand, and the girl ^[l]got up. ^26 (K)This news spread throughout all that land.

^22 (A)One of ^(B)the synagogue ^[a]officials named Jairus *came up, and on seeing Him, *fell at His feet ²³ and *implored Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and ^(C)lay Your hands on her, so that she will ^[b]get well and live.” ²⁴ And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

²⁵ A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, ²⁶ and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse— ²⁷ after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His ^[c]cloak. ²⁸ For she ^[d]thought, “If I just touch His garments, I will ^[e]get well.” ²⁹ Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her ^(D)affliction. ³⁰ Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that ^(E)the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?” ³¹ And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” ³² And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. ³³ But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. ³⁴ And He said to her, “Daughter, ^(F)your faith has ^[f]made you well; ^(G)go in peace and be healed of your ^(H)affliction.”

³⁵ While He was still speaking, they *came from the house of the ^(I)synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?” ³⁶ But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, *said to the ^(J)synagogue official, “^(K)Do not be afraid any longer, only ^[g]believe.” ³⁷ And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except ^(L)Peter and ^[h]James and John the brother of ^[i]James. ³⁸ They *came to the house of the ^(M)synagogue official; and He *saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. ³⁹ And entering in, He *said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.” ⁴⁰ They began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He *took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and *entered the room where the child was. ⁴¹ Taking the child by the hand, He *said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, ^(N)I say to you, get up!”). ⁴² Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded. ⁴³ And He ^(O)gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.
