1 So Abram went up from Egypt to the
Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.
2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock
and in silver and gold.
3 From the Negev he went from place
to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his
tent had been earlier
4 and where he had
first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 Now Lot, who was moving about with
Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6 But the land could not support them while they stayed
together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay
together.
7 And quarreling arose between
Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the
land at that time.
8 So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not
have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we
are close relatives.
9 Is not the whole
land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the
right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”
Matthew 9:18-26
18 While he was saying this, a
synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died.
But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his
disciples.
20 Just then a woman who had been
subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of
his cloak.
21 She said to herself, “If
I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith
has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.
23 When Jesus entered the
synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,
24 he said, “Go away. The
girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him.
25 After the crowd had been put outside, he
went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. 26 News of this spread through all that region.
