Matthew 9:18–26
The Official’s Daughter and the Woman Who Touched Jesus’ Cloak
18 While Jesus was saying this, a Jewish official came to him, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and place your hands on her, and she will live.”
19 So Jesus got up and followed him, and his disciples went along with him.
20 A woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak. 21She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will get well.”
22 Jesus turned round and saw her, and said, “Courage, my daughter! Your faith has made you well.” At that very moment the woman became well.
23 Then Jesus went into the official’s house. When he saw the musicians for the funeral and the people all stirred up, 24he said, “Get out, everybody! The little girl is not dead—she is only sleeping!” Then they all laughed at him. 25But as soon as the people had been put out, Jesus went into the girl’s room and took hold of her hand, and she got up. 26The news about this spread all over that part of the country.
