9 As Jesus was walking along, he
saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax-collection station, and
he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed
him.
10 And as he sat
at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and
were sitting with Jesus and his disciples. 11 When the
Pharisees saw this, they said to his
disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with
tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he
heard this, he said, “Those who are well have no
need of a
physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn
what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not
sacrifice.’ For I have not come to
call the righteous but sinners.”
18 While he was
saying these things to them, suddenly a leader came in and knelt
before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but
come and lay your hand on her, and she will
live.” 19 And Jesus got
up and followed him, with his disciples. 20 Then suddenly
a woman who had been suffering from a flow of blood for twelve
years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his
cloak, 21 for she was
saying to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I
will be made well.” 22 Jesus turned,
and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith
has made you well.” And the woman was made
well from that moment. 23 When Jesus
came to the leader’s house and saw the flute
players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he
said, “Go away, for the girl is not
dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at
him. 25 But when the crowd had been put
outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got
up. 26 And the
report of this spread through all of that
district.
