Mark 5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: [I pray thee], come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. and besought him that he would come into his house: Matthew 9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples. Mark 5:24 And [Jesus] went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. Luke 8:42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. Matthew 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, Mark 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, Luke 8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, Mark 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment: Mark 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. Luke 8:44 Came behind [him], and touched the border of his garment: Matthew 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. Mark 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. Mark 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that plague. and immediately her issue of blood stanched. Mark 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? Luke 8:45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Mark 5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press [thee], and sayest thou, Who touched me? Mark 5:32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. Luke 8:46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. Mark 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. Luke 8:47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Luke 8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. Mark 5:35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's [house certain] which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? Luke 8:49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's [house], saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. Mark 5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. Luke 8:50 But when Jesus heard [it], he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. Mark 5:37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. Luke 8:51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. Matthew 9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, Mark 5:38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. Matthew 9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. Mark 5:39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. Luke 8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. Mark 5:40 And they laughed him to scorn. Luke 8:53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. Matthew 9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. Luke 8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, Mark 5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. and the maid arose. Mark 5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was [of the age] of twelve years. Luke 8:55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. Matthew 9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. Mark 5:43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat. Luke 8:56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
