ch.18 - It seems that the express purpose that God had in sending Moses' father-in-law was that Moses should be guided to establish a hierarchy of command. Moses would presumably have taken this advice directly from God, but God chose to teach him this particular lesson a different way. I wonder how many of us need to learn the same thing - that we can't always go it alone. We don't know much about this man Jethro, but he certain had Moses' love and respect, and God's too it would seem.

17:12 - Right from the start of the Old Covenant there was provision for the inclusion of those who had been brought into the flock from elsewhere - gentiles who had been accepted into Israel, and yet there always seems to have been a stumblingblock with the Jews about this.

SHARE THE LOAD
As Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, watched Moses at his work judging the people from morning till night, he realised that both Moses and the people would be worn out before long if things continued as they were. His advice was that Moses appoint people to share the load with him.
For some of us who are leaders in our churches, we find sharing the workload a hard thing to do. We can feel bad about placing the burden on other people; maybe we have never had the example to show us how; maybe as a servant of Christ, we feel we should do it all alone; or perhaps we have tried before and found that it didn't work.
Both Moses and Jesus shared the workload. Moses took Jethro's advice and appointed judges. Jesus appointed apostles - people he sent out to help him in his work. Their example is an example for us. Neither men are recorded as facing unwillingness when they asked people to help - both of them were men of prayer.
There are two lessons we should learn.
1. If we are hardworking leaders, let us not be afraid to share the load and ask people to share it with us. After all, we need people to take our place when we are gone. Many people are just waiting to be asked.
2. If we are not leaders, let us offer our time and our skills to those who are leaders to us. They may just be waiting for our offer of help.
Whoever we are, let us share the load.

Exo 17:1-7 The people murmured again (for the fourth time since leaving Egypt) and the LORD responded to satisfy their thirst for water. In the presence of the elders of Israel Moses struck the rock in Horeb once with his rod (Exo 17:6). In presence of the elders of Israel, Jesus the spiritual rock was smitten and through his death the spiritual drink (1Cor 10:4) the water of everlasting life became available to all (John 4:14).

Jesus teaches a spiritual lesson. We can quench our spiritual thirst with living waters – the Word of life.
Matt 6:33 “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth

1. And all the congregation <5712> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478> journeyed <5265>(8799) from the wilderness <4057> of Sin <5512>, after their journeys <4550>, according to the commandment <6310> of the LORD <3068>, and pitched <2583>(8799) in Rephidim <7508>: and there was no water <4325> for the people <5971> to drink <8354>(8800).
2. Wherefore the people <5971> did chide <7378>(8799) with Moses <4872>, and said <559>(8799), Give <5414>(8798) us water <4325> that we may drink <8354>(8799). And Moses <4872> said <559>(8799) unto them, Why chide <7378>(8799) ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt <5254>(8762) the LORD <3068>?
3. And the people <5971> thirsted <6770>(8799) there for water <4325>; and the people <5971> murmured <3885>(8686) against Moses <4872>, and said <559>(8799), Wherefore is this that thou hast brought <5927>(8689) us up out of Egypt <4714>, to kill <4191>(8687) us and our children <1121> and our cattle <4735> with thirst <6772>?
4. And Moses <4872> cried <6817>(8799) unto the LORD <3068>, saying <559>(8800), What shall I do <6213>(8799) unto this people <5971>? they be almost <4592> ready to stone <5619>(8804) me.
5. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Go on <5674>(8798) before <6440> the people <5971>, and take <3947>(8798) with thee of the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>; and thy rod <4294>, wherewith thou smotest <5221>(8689) the river <2975>, take <3947>(8798) in thine hand <3027>, and go <1980>(8804).
6. Behold, I will stand <5975>(8802) before <6440> thee there upon the rock <6697> in Horeb <2722>; and thou shalt smite <5221>(8689) the rock <6697>, and there shall come <3318>(8804) water <4325> out of it, that the people <5971> may drink <8354>(8804). And Moses <4872> did <6213>(8799) so in the sight <5869> of the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>.
7. And he called <7121>(8799) the name <8034> of the place <4725> Massah <4532>, and Meribah <4809>, because of the chiding <7379> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and because they tempted <5254>(8763) the LORD <3068>, saying <559>(8800), Is <3426> the LORD <3068> among <7130> us, or not?
8. Then came <935>(8799) Amalek <6002>, and fought <3898>(8735) with Israel <3478> in Rephidim <7508>.
9. And Moses <4872> said <559>(8799) unto Joshua <3091>, Choose us out <977>(8798) men <582>, and go out <3318>(8798), fight <3898>(8734) with Amalek <6002>: to morrow <4279> I will stand <5324>(8737) on the top <7218> of the hill <1389> with the rod <4294> of God <430> in mine hand <3027>.
10. So Joshua <3091> did <6213>(8799) as Moses <4872> had said <559>(8804) to him, and fought <3898>(8736) with Amalek <6002>: and Moses <4872>, Aaron <175>, and Hur <2354> went up <5927>(8804) to the top <7218> of the hill <1389>.
11. And it came to pass, when Moses <4872> held up <7311>(8686) his hand <3027>, that Israel <3478> prevailed <1396>(8804): and when he let down <5117>(8686) his hand <3027>, Amalek <6002> prevailed <1396>(8804).
12. But Moses <4872>' hands <3027> were heavy <3515>; and they took <3947>(8799) a stone <68>, and put <7760>(8799) it under him, and he sat <3427>(8799) thereon; and Aaron <175> and Hur <2354> stayed up <8551>(8804) his hands <3027>, the one on the one side <259>, and the other on the other side <259>; and his hands <3027> were steady <530> until the going down <935>(8800) of the sun <8121>.
13. And Joshua <3091> discomfited <2522>(8799) Amalek <6002> and his people <5971> with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>.
14. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Write <3789>(8798) this for a memorial <2146> in a book <5612>, and rehearse <7760>(8798) it in the ears <241> of Joshua <3091>: for I will utterly <4229>(8800) put out <4229>(8799) the remembrance <2143> of Amalek <6002> from under heaven <8064>.
15. And Moses <4872> built <1129>(8799) an altar <4196>, and called <7121>(8799) the name <8034> of it Jehovahnissi <3071>:
16. For he said <559>(8799), Because the LORD <3050> hath sworn <3027> <3676> that the LORD <3068> will have war <4421> with Amalek <6002> from generation <1755> to generation <1755>.
1. When Jethro <3503>, the priest <3548> of Midian <4080>, Moses <4872>' father in law <2859>(8802), heard <8085>(8799) of all that God <430> had done <6213>(8804) for Moses <4872>, and for Israel <3478> his people <5971>, and that the LORD <3068> had brought <3318>(8689) Israel <3478> out of Egypt <4714>;
2. Then Jethro <3503>, Moses <4872>' father in law <2859>(8802), took <3947>(8799) Zipporah <6855>, Moses <4872>' wife <802>, after <310> he had sent her back <7964>,
3. And her two <8147> sons <1121>; of which the name <8034> of the one <259> was Gershom <1647>; for he said <559>(8804), I have been an alien <1616> in a strange <5237> land <776>:
4. And the name <8034> of the other <259> was Eliezer <461>; for the God <430> of my father <1>, said he, was mine help <5828>, and delivered <5337>(8686) me from the sword <2719> of Pharaoh <6547>:
5. And Jethro <3503>, Moses <4872>' father in law <2859>(8802), came <935>(8799) with his sons <1121> and his wife <802> unto Moses <4872> into the wilderness <4057>, where he encamped <2583>(8802) at the mount <2022> of God <430>:
6. And he said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, I thy father in law <2859>(8802) Jethro <3503> am come <935>(8802) unto thee, and thy wife <802>, and her two <8147> sons <1121> with her.
7. And Moses <4872> went out <3318>(8799) to meet <7125>(8800) his father in law <2859>(8802), and did obeisance <7812>(8691), and kissed <5401>(8799) him; and they asked <7592>(8799) each <376> other <7453> of their welfare <7965>; and they came <935>(8799) into the tent <168>.
8. And Moses <4872> told <5608>(8762) his father in law <2859>(8802) all that the LORD <3068> had done <6213>(8804) unto Pharaoh <6547> and to the Egyptians <4714> for Israel's <3478> sake <182>, and all the travail <8513> that had come <4672>(8804) upon them by the way <1870>, and how the LORD <3068> delivered <5337>(8686) them.
9. And Jethro <3503> rejoiced <2302>(8799) for all the goodness <2896> which the LORD <3068> had done <6213>(8804) to Israel <3478>, whom he had delivered <5337>(8689) out of the hand <3027> of the Egyptians <4714>.
10. And Jethro <3503> said <559>(8799), Blessed <1288>(8803) be the LORD <3068>, who hath delivered <5337>(8689) you out of the hand <3027> of the Egyptians <4714>, and out of the hand <3027> of Pharaoh <6547>, who hath delivered <5337>(8689) the people <5971> from under the hand <3027> of the Egyptians <4714>.
11. Now I know <3045>(8804) that the LORD <3068> is greater <1419> than all gods <430>: for in the thing <1697> wherein they dealt proudly <2102>(8804) he was above them.
12. And Jethro <3503>, Moses <4872>' father in law <2859>(8802), took <3947>(8799) a burnt offering <5930> and sacrifices <2077> for God <430>: and Aaron <175> came <935>(8799), and all the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>, to eat <398>(8800) bread <3899> with Moses <4872>' father in law <2859>(8802) before <6440> God <430>.
13. And it came to pass on the morrow <4283>, that Moses <4872> sat <3427>(8799) to judge <8199>(8800) the people <5971>: and the people <5971> stood <5975>(8799) by Moses <4872> from the morning <1242> unto the evening <6153>.
14. And when Moses <4872>' father in law <2859>(8802) saw <7200>(8799) all that he did <6213>(8802) to the people <5971>, he said <559>(8799), What is this thing <1697> that thou doest <6213>(8802) to the people <5971>? why sittest <3427>(8802) thou thyself alone, and all the people <5971> stand <5324>(8737) by thee from morning <1242> unto even <6153>?
15. And Moses <4872> said <559>(8799) unto his father in law <2859>(8802), Because the people <5971> come <935>(8799) unto me to enquire <1875>(8800) of God <430>:
16. When they have a matter <1697>, they come <935>(8802) unto me; and I judge <8199>(8804) between one <376> and another <7453>, and I do make them know <3045>(8689) the statutes <2706> of God <430>, and his laws <8451>.
17. And Moses <4872>' father in law <2859>(8802) said <559>(8799) unto him, The thing <1697> that thou doest <6213>(8802) is not good <2896>.
18. Thou wilt surely <5034>(8800) wear away <5034>(8799), both thou, and this people <5971> that is with thee: for this thing <1697> is too heavy <3515> for thee; thou art not able <3201>(8799) to perform <6213>(8800) it thyself alone.
19. Hearken <8085>(8798) now unto my voice <6963>, I will give thee counsel <3289>(8799), and God <430> shall be <1961>(8798) with thee: Be thou for the people <5971> to God-ward <4136> <430>, that thou mayest bring <935>(8689) the causes <1697> unto God <430>:
20. And thou shalt teach <2094>(8689) <853> them ordinances <2706> and laws <8451>, and shalt shew <3045>(8689) them the way <1870> wherein they must walk <3212>(8799), and the work <4639> that they must do <6213>(8799).
21. Moreover thou shalt provide <2372>(8799) out of all the people <5971> able <2428> men <582>, such as fear <3373> God <430>, men <582> of truth <571>, hating <8130>(8802) covetousness <1215>; and place <7760>(8804) such over them, to be rulers <8269> of thousands <505>, and rulers <8269> of hundreds <3967>, rulers <8269> of fifties <2572>, and rulers <8269> of tens <6235>:
22. And let them judge <8199>(8804) the people <5971> at all seasons <6256>: and it shall be, that every great <1419> matter <1697> they shall bring <935>(8686) unto thee, but every small <6996> matter <1697> they shall judge <8199>(8799): so shall it be easier <7043>(8685) for thyself, and they shall bear <5375>(8804) the burden with thee.
23. If thou shalt do <6213>(8799) this thing <1697>, and God <430> command <6680>(8765) thee so, then thou shalt be able <3201>(8804) to endure <5975>(8800), and all this people <5971> shall also go <935>(8799) to their place <4725> in peace <7965>.
24. So Moses <4872> hearkened <8085>(8799) to the voice <6963> of his father in law <2859>(8802), and did <6213>(8799) all that he had said <559>(8804).
25. And Moses <4872> chose <977>(8799) able <2428> men <582> out of all Israel <3478>, and made <5414>(8799) them heads <7218> over the people <5971>, rulers <8269> of thousands <505>, rulers <8269> of hundreds <3967>, rulers <8269> of fifties <2572>, and rulers <8269> of tens <6235>.
26. And they judged <8199>(8804) the people <5971> at all seasons <6256>: the hard <7186> causes <1697> they brought <935>(8686) unto Moses <4872>, but every small <6996> matter <1697> <1992> they judged <8199>(8799) themselves.
27. And Moses <4872> let his father in law <2859>(8802) depart <7971>(8762); and he went <3212>(8799) his way into his own land <776>.
Notes that are not verse specific
This Psalm seems to have been written for the coronation of Solomon. David speaks of his hopes for Solomon - which hopes will be fulfilled in the rulership of the risen Jesus when he returns to sit on David's throne.

A KINGDOM PICTURE
This Psalm of David was not fulfilled in either David's day or his son Solomon's or in the life of any other king of Israel or Judah. It will come to pass when Jesus returns and is king. But to share in that time described here will not happen because we are just lucky. Our life now is the time to get ourselves right with God and to prepare for the kingdom.
This glimpse we have of the wonderful time when Jesus is king, describes what his personal reign will be like. It will be like nothing we have ever experienced before from any other ruler - any place or any time.
He will judge the people in righteousness and justice. He will defend the needy and afflicted and he will care for his people. All the decisions he makes will be the right ones. Not only will he be the best ruler ever, but his reign will last forever and ever. It will be refreshing to have Jesus as king. The righteous will flourish and prosperity (the economy) will boom. There will even be changes in nature when food grows freely on the tops of the mountains. All the earth will be filled with his glory.
Now is the time to decide whether we will be there or not. Luck has nothing to do with it.

ULTIMATE DESIRE
"Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you." (
Psa 73:25)
When we think about it, even if life is treating us quite well, it is never as good as we would like it to be. If we have a good job, earn enough money, have a good family and enjoy good health, that is about as good as it gets. Most families experience problems sooner or later, jobs and careers lose their sparkle, spending always outweighs income, and old age will catch up with us whether we like it or not. There is nothing on earth that has the lasting qualities that we desire. What we have now is probably about as good as it gets. Is this the way we want to continue?
I have a friend who is always wanting to win the Lotto. He thinks that if he wins it will solve all his problems. It won't. It will only create more.
This earth has nothing that is worth anything. But we do have hope because God has promised an end to all the misery available to us now. Our desire should be in this promise. God has planned to put everything right and at one with him again. The fulfilment we desire will be given to us when we are at one with God. Let's make him our desire because he is the only thing worth wanting. "Earth has nothing I desire besides you."

In this Messianic prophecy we see the promises made to both Abraham and to David being echoed. We have the promise made in Eden of One who would overcome the battle of defeating sin. The promise of a land, and nation made to Abraham, and the promise of a Son who would reign for ever made to David.
John Wilson [Toronto West (Can)] Comment added in 2006 Reply to John
David begins by requesting Yahweh, on Solomon's behalf, for the ability to judge Israel honourably. Then the psalm clearly elevates to talk about David's greater son, Jesus, the messiah. The psalm gives some insight into the joy, bounty, and justice that will be in the kingdom age.
Michael Parry [Montreal (Can)] Comment added in 2009 Reply to Michael
Promises to Abraham are strongly echoed here. They will be fulfilled in the kingdom which Christ will rule over.
Gen 12:2,3 - great name, thou shalt be a blessing, I will bless them that bless thee, in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed are all found in Ps 72:17.
Gen 13:14-17- the land is in Ps 72:8.
Gen 22:17 - power over enemies is in Ps 72:9.

Notes that are not verse specific
Jairus’ daughter died. That’s the punishment on Adam. Then the woman with the issue of blood was suffering, in symbol, from the punishment on Eve. She had real problems with her childbirth organs. Both were 12 – the girl was 12 years old, and the woman had been suffering for 12 years. If 12 represents Israel, here we have Jesus lifting the punishments of Eden, for Israel.

STUBBORN PROBLEMS
We all deal with problems in life. Some of them seem to sort themselves out easily and quickly, but others, even when they seem to start out simple, can become the plague of our life.
Maybe it started out that way for the woman with the bleeding. To have a monthly cycle is perfectly normal, to bleed for a time after childbirth is also normal. Maybe it will stop tomorrow, she might have thought. But weeks later she was still bleeding. She tried the local doctor, but he couldn't cure her. She tried many others and suffered a great deal. Eventually twelve years passed and her suffering went on.
Perhaps our problems are health issues too, and we have been to see doctor after doctor. Some of us have relationship problems that don't seem to go away - even with the help of the best counsellors. Or maybe we have problems at work and no matter what we try, we can't get out of the rut.
Finally she found Jesus, and with one touch of his robe, she was healed.
Have you looked to Jesus? Have you asked him to help? All those doctors, counsellors, self help book, and YouTube videos are nothing compared to the healing touch of Jesus. Let's seek him out today. His touch can make even the most stubborn problems melt away.

1. And <2532> they came over <2064>(5627) unto <1519> the other side <4008> of the sea <2281>, into <1519> the country <5561> of the Gadarenes <1046>.
2. And <2532> when he was come <1831>(5631) out of <1537> the ship <4143>, immediately <2112> there met <528>(5656) him <846> out of <1537> the tombs <3419> a man <444> with <1722> an unclean <169> spirit <4151>,
3. Who <3739> had <2192>(5707) his dwelling <2731> among <1722> the tombs <3419>; and <2532> no man <3762> could <1410>(5711) bind <1210>(5658) him <846>, no, not <3777> with chains <254>:
4. Because <1223> that he <846> had been often <4178> bound <1210>(5771) with fetters <3976> and <2532> chains <254>, and <2532> the chains <254> had been plucked asunder <1288>(5771) by <5259> him <846>, and <2532> the fetters <3976> broken in pieces <4937>(5771): neither <2532> could <2480>(5707) any man tame <1150>(5658) him <846> <3762>.
5. And <2532> always <1275>, night <3571> and <2532> day <2250>, he was <2258>(5713) in <1722> the mountains <3735>, and <2532> in <1722> the tombs <3418>, crying <2896>(5723), and <2532> cutting <2629>(5723) himself <1438> with stones <3037>.
6. But <1161> when he saw <1492>(5631) Jesus <2424> afar off <575> <3113>, he ran <5143>(5627) and <2532> worshipped <4352>(5656) him <846>,
7. And <2532> cried <2896>(5660) with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, and said <2036>(5627), What <5101> have I <1698> to do <2532> with thee <4671>, Jesus <2424>, thou Son <5207> of the most high <5310> God <2316>? I adjure <3726>(5719) thee <4571> by God <2316>, that thou torment <928>(5661) me <3165> not <3361>.
8. For <1063> he said <3004>(5707) unto him <846>, Come <1831>(5628) out of <1537> the man <444>, thou unclean <169> spirit <4151>.
9. And <2532> he asked <1905>(5707) him <846>, What <5101> is thy <4671> name <3686>? And <2532> he answered <611>(5662), saying <3004>(5723), My <3427> name <3686> is Legion <3003>: for <3754> we are <2070>(5748) many <4183>.
10. And <2532> he besought <3870>(5707) him <846> much <4183> that <3363> <0> he would <649> <0> not <3363> send <649> <0> them <846> away <649>(5661) out of <1854> the country <5561>.
11. Now <1161> there was <2258>(5713) there <1563> nigh <4314> unto the mountains <3735> a great <3173> herd <34> of swine <5519> feeding <1006>(5746).
12. And <2532> all <3956> the devils <1142> besought <3870>(5656) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Send <3992>(5657) us <2248> into <1519> the swine <5519>, that <2443> we may enter <1525>(5632) into <1519> them <846>.
13. And <2532> forthwith <2112> Jesus <2424> gave <2010> <0> them <846> leave <2010>(5656). And <2532> the unclean <169> spirits <4151> went out <1831>(5631), and entered <1525>(5627) into <1519> the swine <5519>: and <2532> the herd <34> ran <3729>(5656) violently down <2596> a steep place <2911> into <1519> the sea <2281>, <1161> (they were <2258>(5713) about <5613> two thousand <1367>;) and <2532> were choked <4155>(5712) in <1722> the sea <2281>.
14. And <1161> they that fed <1006>(5723) the swine <5519> fled <5343>(5627), and <2532> told <312>(5656) it in <1519> the city <4172>, and <2532> in <1519> the country <68>. And <2532> they went out <1831>(5627) to see <1492>(5629) what <5101> it was <2076>(5748) that was done <1096>(5756).
15. And <2532> they come <2064>(5736) to <4314> Jesus <2424>, and <2532> see <2334>(5719) him that was possessed with the devil <1139>(5740), and had <2192>(5761) the legion <3003>, sitting <2521>(5740), and <2532> clothed <2439>(5772), and <2532> in his right mind <4993>(5723): and <2532> they were afraid <5399>(5675).
16. And <2532> they that saw <1492>(5631) it told <1334>(5662) them <846> how <4459> it befell <1096>(5633) to him that was possessed with the devil <1139>(5740), and <2532> also concerning <4012> the swine <5519>.
17. And <2532> they began <756>(5662) to pray <3870>(5721) him <846> to depart <565>(5629) out of <575> their <846> coasts <3725>.
18. And <2532> when he was come <1684>(5631) into <1519> the ship <4143>, he that had been possessed with the devil <1139>(5679) prayed <3870>(5707) him <846> that <2443> he might be <5600>(5753) with <3326> him <846>.
19. Howbeit <1161> Jesus <2424> suffered <863>(5656) him <846> not <3756>, but <235> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Go <5217>(5720) home <1519> <3624> <4675> to <4314> thy friends <4674>, and <2532> tell <312>(5657) them <846> how great things <3745> the Lord <2962> hath done <4160>(5656) for thee <4671>, and <2532> hath had compassion <1653>(5656) on thee <4571>.
20. And <2532> he departed <565>(5627), and <2532> began <756>(5662) to publish <2784>(5721) in <1722> Decapolis <1179> how great things <3745> Jesus <2424> had done <4160>(5656) for him <846>: and <2532> all <3956> men did marvel <2296>(5707).
21. And <2532> when Jesus <2424> was passed over <1276>(5660) again <3825> by <1722> ship <4143> unto <1519> the other side <4008>, much <4183> people <3793> gathered <4863>(5681) unto <1909> him <846>: and <2532> he was <2258>(5713) nigh <3844> unto the sea <2281>.
22. And <2532>, behold <2400>(5628), there cometh <2064>(5736) one <1520> of the rulers of the synagogue <752>, Jairus <2383> by name <3686>; and <2532> when he saw <1492>(5631) him <846>, he fell <4098>(5719) at <4314> his <846> feet <4228>,
23. And <2532> besought <3870>(5707) him <846> greatly <4183>, saying <3004>(5723), <3754> My <3450> little daughter <2365> lieth <2079> at the point of death <2192>(5719): I pray thee, come <2064>(5631) and <2443> lay <2007>(5632) thy hands <5495> on her <846>, that <3704> she may be healed <4982>(5686); and <2532> she shall live <2198>(5695).
24. And <2532> Jesus went <565>(5627) with <3326> him <846>; and <2532> much <4183> people <3793> followed <190>(5707) him <846>, and <2532> thronged <4918>(5707) him <846>.
25. And <2532> a certain <5100> woman <1135>, which had an <1722> issue <4511> of blood <129> <5607>(5752) twelve <1427> years <2094>,
26. And <2532> had suffered <3958>(5631) many things <4183> of <5259> many <4183> physicians <2395>, and <2532> had spent <1159>(5660) all <3956> that she <1438> had <3844>, and <2532> was <5623> <0> nothing <3367> bettered <5623>(5685), but <235> rather <3123> grew <2064>(5631) worse <1519> <5501>,
27. When she had heard <191>(5660) of <4012> Jesus <2424>, came <2064>(5631) in <1722> the press <3793> behind <3693>, and touched <680>(5662) his <846> garment <2440>.
28. For <1063> she said <3004>(5707), If <3754> <2579> <0> I may touch <680>(5672) but <2579> his <846> clothes <2440>, I shall be whole <4982>(5701).
29. And <2532> straightway <2112> the fountain <4077> of her <846> blood <129> was dried up <3583>(5681); and <2532> she felt <1097>(5627) in her body <4983> that <3754> she was healed <2390>(5769) of <575> that plague <3148>.
30. And <2532> Jesus <2424>, immediately <2112> knowing <1921>(5631) in <1722> himself <1438> that virtue <1411> had gone <1831>(5631) out of <1537> him <848>, turned him about <1994>(5651) in <1722> the press <3793>, and said <3004>(5707), Who <5101> touched <680>(5662) my <3450> clothes <2440>?
31. And <2532> his disciples <3101> said <3004>(5707) unto him <846>, Thou seest <991>(5719) the multitude <3793> thronging <4918>(5723) thee <4571>, and <2532> sayest thou <3004>(5719), Who <5101> touched <680>(5662) me <3450>?
32. And <2532> he looked round about <4017>(5710) to see <1492>(5629) her that had done <4160>(5660) this thing <5124>.
33. But <1161> the woman <1135> fearing <5399>(5679) and <2532> trembling <5141>(5723), knowing <1492>(5761) what <3739> was done <1096>(5754) in <1909> her <846>, came <2064>(5627) and <2532> fell down before <4363>(5627) him <846>, and <2532> told <2036>(5627) him <846> all <3956> the truth <225>.
34. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto her <846>, Daughter <2364>, thy <4675> faith <4102> hath made <4982> <0> thee <4571> whole <4982>(5758); go <5217>(5720) in <1519> peace <1515>, and <2532> be <2468>(5749) whole <5199> of <575> thy <4675> plague <3148>.
35. While <2089> <0> he <846> yet <2089> spake <2980>(5723), there came <2064>(5736) from <575> the ruler of the synagogue's <752> house certain which said <3004>(5723), <3754> Thy <4675> daughter <2364> is dead <599>(5627): why <5101> troublest thou <4660>(5719) the Master <1320> any further <2089>?
36. As soon as <1161> <2112> Jesus <2424> heard <191>(5660) the word <3056> that was spoken <2980>(5746), he saith <3004>(5719) unto the ruler of the synagogue <752>, Be <5399> <0> not <3361> afraid <5399>(5732)(5737), only <3440> believe <4100>(5720).
37. And <2532> he suffered <863>(5656) <3756> no man <3762> to follow <4870>(5658) him <846>, save <1508> Peter <4074>, and <2532> James <2385>, and <2532> John <2491> the brother <80> of James <2385>.
38. And <2532> he cometh <2064>(5736) to <1519> the house <3624> of the ruler of the synagogue <752>, and <2532> seeth <2334>(5719) the tumult <2351>, and them that wept <2799>(5723) and <2532> wailed <214>(5723) greatly <4183>.
39. And <2532> when he was come in <1525>(5631), he saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Why <5101> make ye this ado <2350>(5743), and <2532> weep <2799>(5719)? the damsel <3813> is <599> <0> not <3756> dead <599>(5627), but <235> sleepeth <2518>(5719).
40. And <2532> they laughed <2606> <0> him <846> to scorn <2606>(5707). But <1161> when he had put <1544> <0> them all <537> out <1544>(5631), he taketh <3880>(5719) the father <3962> and <2532> the mother <3384> of the damsel <3813>, and <2532> them that were with <3326> him <846>, and <2532> entereth in <1531>(5736) where <3699> the damsel <3813> was <2258>(5713) lying <345>(5740).
41. And <2532> he took <2902>(5660) the damsel <3813> by the hand <5495>, and said <3004>(5719) unto her <846>, Talitha <5008> cumi <2891>; which <3739> is <2076>(5748), being interpreted <3177>(5746), Damsel <2877>, I say <3004>(5719) unto thee <4671>, arise <1453>(5669).
42. And <2532> straightway <2112> the damsel <2877> arose <450>(5627), and <2532> walked <4043>(5707); for <1063> she was <2258>(5713) of the age of twelve <1427> years <2094>. And <2532> they were astonished <1839>(5627) with a great <3173> astonishment <1611>.
43. And <2532> he charged <1291>(5668) them <846> straitly <4183> that <2443> no man <3367> should know <1097>(5632) it <5124>; and <2532> commanded <2036>(5627) that something should be given <1325>(5683) her <846> to eat <5315>(5629).
