New Testament
Luke 8:40-56
The Daughter of Jairus
40When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him. 41Just then, a man named Jairus arrived. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house, 42because he had an only daughter who was about twelve years old, and she was dying.
As he went, the crowds pressed tightly against him. 43There was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years. Even though she had paid physicians all she had to live on, she could not be healed by anyone. 44She approached Jesus from behind and touched the fringe of his garment. Immediately her flow of blood stopped. 45And Jesus said, “Who touched me?”
As everyone was denying it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the crowds are pressing in and crowding you, yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, because I know that power has gone out from me.” 47When the woman saw that she did not escape his notice, she came trembling and fell down before Jesus. In the presence of all the people she told him why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue ruler's house, saying, “Your daughter has died. Don't trouble the Teacher anymore.”
50But when Jesus heard it, he told Jairus, “Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”
51When he came to the house, he did not let anyone enter, except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and mother. 52All the people were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Stop weeping, because she is not dead, but sleeping.”
53They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54But he[] took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!” 55Her spirit returned, and she immediately got up. He ordered that something be given to her to eat. 56Her parents were amazed, but he instructed them not to tell anyone what had happened.
