28For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.”28for she kept saying, "If only I touch his clothes, I will be healed."
29And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.29At once the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.
30And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?”30Jesus knew at once that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

36But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.”36But Jesus, paying no attention to what was said, told the synagogue ruler, "Do not be afraid; just believe."

42And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.42The girl got up at once and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). They were completely astonished at this.
