a certain woman, having a
flux of blood twelve years, (26)and had suffered much from many
physicians; and had expended all she had, and was nothing better, but
rather growing worse and worse; (27)when she heard of Jesus, came in
the crowd behind him, and touched his garment: (28)for she said, If I
but touch his clothes, I shall recover. (29)And instantly the fountain
of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured
of her afflictive disease. (30)And Jesus immediately perceiving in
himself that miraculous power had gone forth from him, turning about in
the crowd, said, Who touched my garments? (31)And his disciples said to
him, Thou seest the crowd thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched
me? (32)And he looked round to see her who had done this. (33)Then the
woman, fearful and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came
and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. (34)And he said
unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be
whole from thy distressing disease.

(35)And while he was yet speaking, they came from the ruler of the
synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble
the master any further? (36)But Jesus, instantly hearing the account
given, said to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.
(37)And he permitted no person to follow him, but Peter, and James, and
John a brother of James. (38)And he cometh to the house of the ruler of
the synagogue, and seeth the confusion, as they were greatly lamenting
and making loud moanings. (39)And entering in he saith, Why make ye
this uproar, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. (40)And
they derided him; but he thrusting them all out, took the father and
the mother of the maiden, and those who were with him, and went in
where the damsel was laid out. (41)And taking the hand of the damsel,
he saith unto her, Talitha cumi! which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I
say unto thee, arise! (42)And immediately the damsel arose and walked
about, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with vast
astonishment. (43)And he very strongly charged them that no person
should know it; and ordered something to be given her to eat.

AND he went out thence, and came into his native country; and his
disciples followed him. (2)And when the sabbath came, he began to teach
in the synagogue: and many when they heard him were amazed, saying,
Whence hath this man these th
