Luke 8:39-54

³⁹“Return to your house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he departed, proclaiming throughout the whole city all the things that Jesus did for him.

⁴⁰So it was, when Jesus returned, that the crowd welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.

⁴¹And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And falling at the feet of Jesus, he was imploring Him to enter into his house,

⁴²for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He was going, the crowds were pressing against Him.

⁴³Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who though she had spent her whole livelihood on physicians, was not able to be healed by anyone,

⁴⁴approaching from behind, touched the hem of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

⁴⁵And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the crowds are pressing You hard and crowding You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

⁴⁶But Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I perceived that power has gone out from Me.”

⁴⁷Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she recounted to Him before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸And He said to her, “Take courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

⁴⁹While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, “Your daughter has died. Do not trouble the Teacher.”

⁵⁰But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be healed.”

⁵¹When He came into the house, He permitted no one to enter except Peter, John, and James, and the father and mother of the child.

⁵²Now all were weeping and mourning for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but asleep.”

⁵³And they were ridiculing Him, knowing that she had died.

⁵⁴But He sent them all outside, and having grasped her hand, He called, saying, “Child, arise.”
