A Ruler’s Daughter and a Sick Woman

18

While he is speaking these things to them, lo, a ruler having come, was bowing to him, saying that `My daughter just now died, but, having come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.'

19

And Jesus having risen, did follow him, also his disciples,

20

and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments,

21

for she said within herself, `If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.'

22

And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, `Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

23

And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult,

24

he saith to them, `Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,' and they were deriding him;

25

but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose,

26

and the fame of this went forth to all the land.
