Luke 8:40–56

⁴⁰And it came to pass that, ^lwhen Jesus was returned, the people ^mgladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ⁿAnd behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: ⁴²for he had ^oone only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. (But as he went the people thronged him. ⁴³And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent ^pall her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, ⁴⁴came behind him, and touched the ^qborder of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. ⁴⁵And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, ^rMaster, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? ⁴⁶And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. ⁴⁷And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and ^sfalling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. ⁴⁸And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath ^tmade thee whole; ^ugo in peace.) ⁴⁹While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. ⁵⁰But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. ⁵¹And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. ⁵²And all wept, and ^wbewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. ⁵³And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. ⁵⁵And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. ⁵⁶And her parents ^xwere astonished: but ^yhe charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
