Matthew 9

A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed

18 As he was telling them these things,  * 9:18–26 Mk 5:22–43; Lk 8:41–56 suddenly one of the leaders came and knelt down before him, saying, "My daughter just died,  * 9:18 Lit daughter has now come to the end but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."  * 9:18 Mt 8:2–3; Mk 5:2319 So Jesus and his disciples got up and followed  * 9:19 Lk 5:11; Jn 8:12 him.

20 Just then, a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years approached from behind and touched the end of his robe,  * 9:20 Lv 15:25; Nm 15:38; Dt 22:12; Mt 14:36; 23:521 for she said to herself, "If I can just touch his robe, I’ll be made well."  * 9:21 Or be saved,* 9:21 Mt 14:36; Mk 3:10; Lk 6:19

22 Jesus turned and saw her. "Have courage, daughter," he said. "Your faith has saved you."* 9:22 Or has made you well,* 9:22 Mt 15:28; Mk 10:52; Lk 7:50; 17:19; 18:42 And the woman was made well from that moment.  * 9:22 Lit hour

23 When Jesus came to the leader’s house, he saw the flute players and a crowd lamenting loudly.  * 9:23 2Ch 35:25; Jr 9:17; 16:6; Ezk 24:17; Rv 18:2224 "Leave," he said, "because the girl is not dead but asleep."* 9:24 Jn 11:13; Ac 20:10 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.  * 9:25 Mk 9:27; Ac 3:7; 9:40–4126 Then news of this spread throughout that whole area.  * 9:26 Mt 4:24; 9:31; 14:1; Mk 1:28; Lk 4:14
