^(u)While He was saying these things to them, ^[m]a synagogue ^[n]official came and ^[o](v)bowed down before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live."

Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.

And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched ^(w)the ^[p]fringe of His ^[q]cloak;

for she was saying ^[r]to herself, "If I only ^(x)touch His garment, I will ^[s]get well."

But Jesus turning and seeing her said, "Daughter, ^(y)take courage; ^(z)your faith has ^[t]made you well." ^[u]At once the woman was ^[v]made well.

When Jesus came into the ^[w]official's house, and saw ^(aa)the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

He said, "Leave; for the girl ^(ab)has not died, but is asleep." And they began laughing at Him.

But ^(ac)when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and ^(ad)took her by the hand, and the girl ^[x]got up.

^(ae)This news spread throughout all that land.

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, "Have mercy on us, ^(af)Son of David!"

When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus *said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They *said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

Then He touched their eyes, saying, "^[y]It shall be done to you ^(ag)according to your faith."

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus ^(ah)sternly warned them: "See that no one knows about this!"

But they went out and ^(ai)spread the news about Him throughout all that land.

As they were going out, ^(aj)a mute, ^(ak)demon-possessed man ^[z]was brought to Him.

After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, "^(al)Nothing like this has ^[aa]ever been seen in Israel."

But the Pharisees were saying, "He ^(am)casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."
