Matthew 9:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 9.
20 Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.
21 She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.
23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.
25 After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
26 And the news about this spread throughout that region.
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28 After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.
