And instantly the woman was made well. 9 ²³ And when Jesus came to the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult, 9 ²⁴ he said, "Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. 9 ²⁵ But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 9 ²⁶ And the report of this went through all that district.
