Matthew 9
New International Version

Mark 5 v 20-22
Luke 8 v 40-56 – most detailed account of this passage
Jesus raises a dead girl and heals a sick woman
¹⁸While he was saying this, a synagogue leader (Jairus) came and knelt before him and said, ‘My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.’ ¹⁹Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.
²⁰Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. ²¹She said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.’
²²Jesus turned and saw her. ‘Take heart, daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has healed you.’ And the woman was healed at that moment.
²³When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and the people playing pipes, ²⁴he said, ‘Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.’ But they laughed at him. ²⁵After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. ²⁶News of this spread through all that region.
