for she said within herself, 'If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.'

The Bible (Old and New Testaments)
Matthew
And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, 'Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.
And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult,
he saith to them, 'Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,' and they were deriding him;
but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose,
and the fame of this went forth to all the land.
And Jesus passing on thence, two blind men followed him, calling and saying, 'Deal kindly with us, Son of David.'
And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith to them, 'Believe ye that I am able to do this?' They say to him, 'Yes, sir.'
Then touched he their eyes, saying, 'According to your faith let it be to you,'
and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, 'See, let no one know;'
but they, having gone forth, did spread his fame in all that land.
And as they are coming forth, lo, they brought to him a man dumb, a demoniac,
and the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitude did wonder, saying that 'It was never so seen in Israel:'
but the Pharisees said, 'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'
And Jesus was going up and down all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every sickness and every malady among the people.
And having seen the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd,
then saith he to his disciples, 'The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few;
beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth workmen to His harvest.'
And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady.
And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.
These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, 'To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,
and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
'And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh;
infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be raising, demons be casting out — freely ye did receive, freely give.
'Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff — for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
'And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.
And coming to the house salute it,
and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.
'And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,
verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
'Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.
And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,
and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
'And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
'And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,
and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.
'And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.
'A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;
sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?
'Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;
that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
'And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna.
'Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;
and of you — even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.
'Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;
and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
'Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;
for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
and the enemies of a man are those of his household.
'He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,
and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
'He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.
'He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,
he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward,
and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
said to him, 'Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,
blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'
And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What went ye out to the wilderness to view? — a reed shaken by the wind?
'But what went ye out to see? — a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses.
'But what went ye out to see? — a prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.
'And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force,
for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,
and if ye are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
he who is having ears to hear — let him hear.
'And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their comrades,
and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.
'For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon;
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.'
Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.
'Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;
but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than for you.
'And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day;
but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.'
At that time Jesus answering said, 'I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes.
Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee.
'All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].
'Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,
take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,
for my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.'
At that time did Jesus go on the sabbaths through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat,
and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, 'Lo, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.'
And he said to them, 'Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, himself and those with him —
how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to him to eat, nor to those with him, except to the priests alone?
'Or did ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple do profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
and I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here;
and if ye had known what is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice — ye had not condemned the blameless,
for the son of man is lord even of the sabbath.'
And having departed thence, he went to their synagogue,
and lo, there was a man having the hand withered, and they questioned him, saying, 'Is it lawful to heal on the sabbaths?' that they might accuse him.
