18. As he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler approached and adored him, saying: "Lord, my daughter has recently passed away. But come and impose your hand upon her, and she will live."
19. And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with his disciples.
20. And behold, a woman, who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, approached from behind and touched the hem of his garment.
21. For she said within herself, "If I will touch even his garment, I shall be saved."
22. But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: "Be strengthened in faith, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.
23. And when Jesus had arrived in the house of the ruler, and he had seen the musicians and the tumultuous crowd,
24. he said, "Depart. For the girl is not dead, but asleep." And they derided him.
25. And when the crowd had been sent away, he entered. And he took her by the hand. And the girl rose up.
26. And the news of this went out to that entire land.
27. And as Jesus passed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, "Take pity on us, Son of David."
28. And when he had arrived at the house, the blind men approached him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you trust that I am able to do this for you?" They say to him, "Certainly, Lord."
29. Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith, so let it be done for you."
30. And their eyes were opened. And Jesus warned them, saying, "See to it that no one knows of this."
31. But going out, they spread the news of it to all that land.
32. Then, when they had departed, behold, they brought him a man who was mute, having a demon.
33. And after the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds wondered, saying, "Never has anything like this been seen in Israel."
34. But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of demons does he cast out demons."
35. And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity.
