Matthew 9:18-26

While 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». Jesus stood up and followed him with his disciples. Then a woman who had suffered from a severe bleeding for twelve years came up from behind and touched the edge of his cloak. For she thought, «If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed». Jesus turned, saw her and said, «Courage, my daughter, your faith has saved you». And from that moment the woman was cured.

When Jesus arrived at the official's house and saw the flute players and the excited crowd, He said, «Get out of here! The girl is not dead. She is only sleeping!». And they laughed at him. But once the crowd had been turned out, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up. The news of this spread through the whole area.

Analysis

It is weird for me to comment on the same passage, after all, I have done the same passage just a week ago more or less. Regardless, since this is a repeated passage, I will only write my new thoughts if I have one. This passage is the same as the passage on Sunday, 1st of July, which is Mark 5:21-34. This version is actually shorter than the Mark version, so there is really nothing I can say more about this. Of course, the difference is Jesus did not tell the people to not tell it to anyone, it is only written that the news of the resurrection of the girl has spread through the whole area. Regardless, since I have nothing else to say on this passage, this is all I can say, have a nice day and see you later.
