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.
