Note: Your faith in Christ is very important: These Bible verses provide two examples of people who took action based on their faith in Christ, and then received exactly what they were seeking when they approached him. Over and over Jesus told people, "just as has been your faith, so let it happen to you" or "your faith has made you well," and other similar statements.
Matthew 9:18-25 GW A synagogue leader came to Jesus while he was talking to John's disciples. He bowed down in front of Jesus and said, "My daughter just died. Come, lay your hand on her, and she will live." (19) Jesus and his disciples got up and followed the man. (20) Then a woman came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his clothes. She had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years. (21) She thought, "If I only touch his clothes, I'll get well." (22) When Jesus turned and saw her he said, "Cheer up, daughter! Your faith has made you well." At that very moment the woman became well. (23) Jesus came to the synagogue leader's house. He saw flute players and a noisy crowd. (24) He said to them, "Leave! The girl is not dead. She's sleeping." But they laughed at him. (25) When the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in, took her hand, and the girl came back to life.
Matthew 9:18-25 ESV While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." (19) And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. (20) And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, (21) for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I will be made well." (22) Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well. (23) And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, (24) he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. (25) But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
Matthew 9:18-25 CEV While Jesus was still speaking, an official came and knelt in front of him. The man said, "My daughter has just now died! Please come and place your hand on her. Then she will live again." (19) Jesus and his disciples got up and went with the man. (20) A woman who had been bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and barely touched his clothes. (21) She had said to herself, "If I can just touch his clothes, I will get well." (22) Jesus turned. He saw the woman and said, "Don't worry! You are now well because of your faith." At that moment she was healed. (23) When Jesus went into the home of the official and saw the musicians and the crowd of mourners, (24) he said, "Get out of here! The little girl isn't dead. She is just asleep." Everyone started laughing at Jesus. (25) But after the crowd had been sent out of the house, Jesus went to the girl's bedside. He took her by the hand and helped her up.
Matthew 9:18-25 GNB While Jesus was saying this, a Jewish official came to him, knelt down before him, and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and place your hands on her, and she will live." (19) So Jesus got up and followed him, and his disciples went along with him. (20) A woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak. (21) She said to herself, "If only I touch his cloak, I will get well." (22) Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, "Courage, my daughter! Your faith has made you well." At that very moment the woman became well. (23) Then Jesus went into the official's house. When he saw the musicians for the funeral and the people all stirred up, (24) he said, "Get out, everybody! The little girl is not dead---she is only sleeping!" Then they all started making fun of him. (25) But as soon as the people had been put out, Jesus went into the girl's room and took hold of her hand, and she got up.
