Luke 8:41-54

⁴¹Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders ◄of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place► there, came near and prostrated himself at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house and heal my daughter,

⁴²my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.

⁴³Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant vaginal EUP bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.

⁴⁴She came behind Jesus and touched the edge of his robe in order to be healed. At once her bleeding stopped.

⁴⁵Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you (sg) and crowding against you, so any one of them might have touched you!”

⁴⁶But Jesus said, “ I know that someone deliberately touched me, because my power has healed someone who touched me.”

⁴⁷When the woman realized that she could not prevent Jesus (OR, people) from knowing that she was healed, her body began to shake. She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.

⁴⁸Jesus said to her, “◄Ma'am/My dear woman►, because you believed PRS that I could heal you, I have healed you. Go from here, and may you experience God's peace within you.”

⁴⁹While he was still talking to her, a man from Jairus' house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So ◄it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer by urging him to go to your house!/why do you bother the teacher any longer by urging him to go to your house?► RHQ”

⁵⁰But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that I can help her. If you(sg) do that, she will live again.”

⁵¹When they arrived outside Jairus' house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl's mother and father to go in Jairus' house with him.

⁵²All the people there were crying and beating their chests to show that they were sad. But, knowing that he would cause the girl to live again, he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is just sleeping MET!”

⁵³The people laughed at him, because they knew that the girl was dead.

⁵⁴But Jesus took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
