Luke 8:41-54

⁴¹And then, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; he fell down at Jesus' feet and started begging Him to come to his house,

⁴²because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as He was going, the crowds were pressing against Him.

⁴³And a woman—suffering with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole livelihood on physicians, but could not be healed by any—

⁴⁴approaching from behind touched the border of His garment; and immediately the flow of her blood stopped!

⁴⁵So Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said: “Master, the people are pressing against you and crowding in, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

⁴⁶But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, because I noticed power going out from me.”

⁴⁷Now when the woman saw that she could not hide, she came trembling, and falling down before Him she told Him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into peace.”

⁴⁹While He was still speaking, here came someone from the synagogue ruler's house, saying to him: “Your daughter has died. Don't bother the teacher.”

⁵⁰But upon hearing it Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Don't be afraid; just believe and she will be healed.”

⁵¹When He arrived at the house, He allowed no one to go in except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

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

⁵³They started ridiculing Him, knowing that she had died.

⁵⁴So He put them all outside, and grasping her hand He called, saying, “Child, arise!”
