"And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

(25 And a woman, which had an issue of blood twelve 26 years, "and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, "having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his (28 garment. "For she said, If I touch but his garments, I 29 shall be 1made whole. "And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she 30) was healed of her plague. "And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, 31 Who touched my garments? "And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest 32 thou, Who touched me? "And he looked round about (33 to see her that had done this thing. "But the woman

"And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and 39 many weeping and wailing greatly. "And when he was entered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, (40) and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth. "And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child (41) was. "And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, 42 I say unto thee, Arise.
