Luke 8:39-54

³⁹“Return to your home and give a full account of what God has done for you.” The man went on his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus had done for him.

⁴⁰Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.

⁴¹Behold, a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders of the synagogue, came and fell down at Jesus' feet, and he begged him to come to his house,

⁴²because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve years of age, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds of people pressed together around him.

⁴³Now a woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years and had spent all her money , and could not be healed by anyone.

⁴⁴She came behind Jesus and touched the edge of his coat, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

⁴⁵Jesus said, “Who was it who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds of people are all around you and they are pressing in against you.”

⁴⁶But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”

⁴⁷When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people she declared why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.

⁴⁸Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

⁴⁹While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any longer.”

⁵⁰But when Jesus heard this, he answered Jairus, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be healed.”

⁵¹When he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child and her mother.

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

⁵³But they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴But he took her by the hand and called out, saying, “Child, get up!”
