Luke 8:41-54

⁴¹And lo! there came a man, named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come into his house;

⁴²for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitudes thronged him.

⁴³And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be cured by any one,

⁴⁴came up behind and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her issue of blood ceased.

⁴⁵And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes are thronging thee, and pressing against thee.

⁴⁶But Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I perceived that power went out from me.

⁴⁷And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured immediately.

⁴⁸And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.

⁴⁹While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher any further.

⁵⁰But Jesus hearing this, answered him, Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well.

⁵¹And going into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James, and the father of the maiden, and the mother.

⁵²And all were weeping, and lamenting for her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeping.

⁵³And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴But he took hold of her hand, and called aloud, saying, Maiden, arise!
