Matthew 9:18–34

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

^18tWhile he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and ^uknelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” ¹⁹And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. ²⁰And behold, a woman ^vwho had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched ^wthe fringe of his garment, ²¹for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” ²²Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ^x“Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” ^yAnd instantly⁴ the woman was made well. ²³And when Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw ^zthe flute players and the crowd making a commotion, ²⁴he said, “Go away, for ^athe girl is not dead but ^bsleeping.” And they laughed at him. ²⁵But ^cwhen the crowd had been put outside, he went in and ^dtook her by the hand, and the girl arose. ²⁶And the report of this went through all that district.

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

^27eAnd as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, ^fSon of David.” ²⁸When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” ^29gThen he touched their eyes, saying, ^h“According to your faith let it be done to you.” ³⁰And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, ⁱ“See that no one knows about it.” ^31jBut they went away and spread his fame through all that district.

Jesus Heals a Man Unable to Speak

³²As they were going away, behold, a ^kdemon-oppressed man who was mute ^lwas brought to him. ³³And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds ^mmarveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.” ³⁴But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.”
