Two healings

 18While Jesus was speaking to them, an official of the synagogue came up to him, bowed before him and said: 
—My daughter has just died, but come and place your hands on her, and she will live. 
19Jesus stood up and followed him with his disciples.
20Then a woman who had suffered from a severe bleeding for twelve years came up from behind and touched the edge of his cloak. 21For she thought: 
—If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed. 
22Jesus turned, saw her and said: 
—Courage, my daughter, your faith has saved you. 
And from that moment the woman was cured.
23When Jesus arrived at the official’s house and saw the flute players and the excited crowd, he said: 
24—Get out of here! The girl is not dead. She is only sleeping!
And they laughed at him. 25But once the crowd had been turned out, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up. 26The news of this spread through the whole area.
