Gospel Reading for July 8 2024 – Matthew 9:18-26

¹⁸ While Jesus was speaking, an official came forward, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

¹⁹ Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples.

²⁰ A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak.

²¹ She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.”

²² Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured.

²³ When Jesus arrived at the official’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion,

²⁴ he said, “Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they ridiculed him.

²⁵ When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose.

²⁶ And news of this spread throughout all that land.
