01/08 Matthew 9:18-19
As Jesus was saying this, the leader of a synagogue came and knelt before him. “My daughter has just died,” he said, “but you can bring her back to life again if you just come and lay your hand on her.” 19 So Jesus and his disciples got up and went with him.

The leader of the synagogue believed in Jesus. He was desperate to save His daughter’s life and Jesus went with him to see about his daughter. People count with Jesus and the leader of the synagogue knew it.
