43. And a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years, who [had spent her whole livelihood on doctors and] was unable to be cured by anyone,
44. came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. Immediately her bleeding stopped.
45. Jesus then asked, “Who touched me?” While all were denying it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are pushing and pressing in upon you.”
46. But Jesus said, “Someone has touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me.”
47. When the woman realized that she had not escaped notice, she came forward trembling. Falling down before him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
48. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
49. While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer.”
50. On hearing this, Jesus answered him, “Do not be afraid; just have faith and she will be saved.”
51. When he arrived at the house he allowed no one to enter with him except Peter and John and James, and the child’s father and mother.
52. All were weeping and mourning for her, when he said, “Do not weep any longer, for she is not dead, but sleeping.”
53. And they ridiculed him, because they knew that she was dead.
54. But he took her by the hand and called to her, “Child, arise!”
55. Her breath returned and she immediately arose. He then directed that she should be given something to eat.
