him. “My daughter has just died,” he
said, “but you can bring her back to
life again if you just come and lay your
hand on her.”
19 So
Jesus and his disciples got
up and went with him. 20 Just then a
woman who had suffered for twelve
years with constant bleeding came up
behind him. She touched the fringe of
his robe, 21 for she thought, “If I can
just touch his robe, I will be healed.”
22
Jesus turned around, and when
he saw her he said, “Daughter, be
encouraged! Your faith has made you
well.” And the woman was healed at
that moment.
23 When Jesus arrived at the official’s
home, he saw the noisy crowd and
heard the funeral music. 24 “Get out!”
he told them. “The girl i sn’t dead; she’s
only asleep.” But the crowd laughed
at him. 25 After the crowd was put outside, however, Jesus went in and took
the girl by the hand, and she stood
up! 26 The report of this miracle swept
through the entire countryside.
27 After
Jesus left the girl’s home,
two blind men followed along behind
him, shouting, “Son of David, have
mercy on us!”
28 They went right into the house
where he was staying, and J esus asked
them, “Do you believe I can make you
see?”
“Yes, Lord,” they told him, “we do.”
29 Then he touched their eyes and
said, “Because of your faith, it will
happen.” 30 Then their eyes were
opened, and they could see! Jesus
sternly warned them, “Don’t tell anyone about this.” 31 But instead, they
went out and spread his fame all over
the region.
32 When they left, a demon-possessed
man who couldn’t speak was brought
to Jesus. 33 So Jesus cast out the demon,
and then the man began to speak. The
crowds were amazed. “Nothing like
this has ever happened in Israel!” they
exclaimed.
34 But the Phar
isees said, “He can
cast out demons because he is empowered by the prince of demons.”
35
Jesus traveled through all the
50
towns and villages of that area,
teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the
Kingdom. And he healed every kind
of disease and illness. 36 When he
saw the crowds, he had compassion
on them because they were confused
and helpless, like sheep without a
shepherd. 37 He said to his disciples,
“The harvest is great, but the workers
are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in
charge of the harvest; ask him to send
more workers into his fields.”

I trust in the Lord for protection.
So why do you say to me,
“Fly like a bird to the mountains
for safety!
The wicked are stringing their
bows
and fitting their arrows on the
bowstrings.
They shoot from the shadows
at those whose hearts are right.
The foundations of law and order
have collapsed.
What can the righteous do?”
But the Lord is in his holy
Temple;
the Lord still rules from
heaven.
He watches everyone closely,
examining every person on
earth.
The Lord examines both the
righteous and the wicked.
He hates those who love
violence.
He will rain down blazing coals
and burning sulfur on the
wicked,
punishing them with scorching
winds.
For the righteous Lord loves
justice.
The virtuous will see his
face.
