Luke 8:41-56
Read Luke 8 in full →41aAnd behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was 1,ban official of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he began to plead with Him to come to his house, 42for he had an 1only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.
43And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, 44came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped. 45And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “aMaster, the crowds are surrounding and pressing in on You.” 46But Jesus said, “Someone did touch Me, for I knew that apower had gone out of Me.” 47And when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling. And falling down before Him, she declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she had been immediately healed. 48And He said to her, “Daughter, ayour faith has 1saved you; bgo in peace.”
49While He was still speaking, someone *came from the house of athe synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.” 50But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, “aDo not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be 1saved.” 51So when He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother. 52Now they were all crying and alamenting for her, but He said, “Stop crying, for she has not died, but bis asleep.” 53And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died. 54He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Child, arise!” 55And her spirit returned, and she stood up immediately. And He gave orders for something to be given her to eat. 56And her parents were astounded, but He adirected them to tell no one what had happened.
