all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any,
008:044 came behind him, and touched the fringe{or, tassel} of his cloak,
and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
008:045 Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter and those
with him said, "Master, the multitudes press and jostle you,
and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
008:046 But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power
has gone out of me."
008:047 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling,
and falling down before him declared to him in the presence
of all the people the reason why she had touched him,
and how she was healed immediately.
008:048 He said to her, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well.
Go in peace."
008:049 While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's
house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead.
Don't trouble the Teacher."
008:050 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Don't be afraid.

and her mother.
008:052 All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Don't weep.
She isn't dead, but sleeping."
008:053 They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
008:054 But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand,
he called, saying, "Child, arise!"
008:055 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately.
He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
008:056 Her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no one
what had been done.
