Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, June 7, 2026 | Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26 | with Donovan Drake, Stephanie Boaz, and Sarah Bird Kneff Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26 Christ heals a woman and raises a girl 9:9As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax-collection station, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. 9:10And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with Jesus and his disciples. 9:11When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" 9:12But when he heard this, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 9:13Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous but sinners." 9:18While he was saying these things to them, suddenly a leader came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." 9:19And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. 9:20Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from a flow of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, 9:21for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well." 9:22Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." and the woman was made well from that moment. 9:23When Jesus came to the leader's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 9:24he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. 9:25But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. 9:26And the report of this spread through all of that district.
