Matthew 9

Jesus raises the dead

18 While He was saying these things to them, there he was; a certain ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her and she will live." 19 So Jesus got up and followed him, with His disciples. 20 And then—a woman who had been hemorrhaging for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she kept saying to herself, "If only I may touch His garment I will be healed."*It is clear from Mark 5:27-30 that the woman was healed before Jesus turned around. At other times contact with the shadow or a handkerchief brought healing. There is a principle at work here that we no longer understand, but satanists use all the time. 22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was healed from that very hour. 23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flutists and the crowd making a commotion, 24 He says to them, "Go away, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping." So they began to ridicule Him.*They knew that the girl was dead. 25 But when the crowd had been put outside, He went in and grasped her hand, and the girl got up. 26 And the report of this went out into all that land.
