When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
[8:46] But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me." [8:47] When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. [8:48] He said to her, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
[8:49] While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Don't trouble the Teacher."
[8:50] But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Don't be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
[8:51] When he came to the house, he didn't allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother. [8:52] All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Don't weep. She isn't dead, but sleeping."
[8:53] They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead. [8:54] But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, "Child, arise!" [8:55] Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat. [8:56] Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
[9:1] He called [the twelve] together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. [9:2] He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. [9:3] He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey--neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece. [9:4] Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there. [9:5] As many as don't receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."
[9:6] They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere. [9:7] Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, [9:8] and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. [9:9] Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?" He sought to see him. [9:10] The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done.
He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida. [9:11] But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing. [9:12] The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place."
[9:13] But he said to them, "You give them something to eat."
