20. A woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak.
21. She 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,
24. he said, “Get out, everybody! The little girl is not dead — she is only sleeping!” Then they all laughed at him.
25. But 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.
26. The news about this spread all over that part of the country.
27. Jesus left that place, and as he walked along, two blind men started following him. “Take pity on us, Son of David!” they shouted.
