Luke 8:41–56

A Woman is Healed

Matt. 9:18–22; Mark 5:21–34

⁴¹ⁱAnd behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, ⁴²for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she ^jwas dying.

But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. ^43kNow a woman, having a ^lflow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, ⁴⁴came from behind and ^mtouched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

⁴⁵And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter ⁶and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, ⁷and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

⁴⁶But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived ⁿpower going out from Me.” ⁴⁷Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸And He said to her, “Daughter, ⁸be of good cheer; ^oyour faith has made you well. ^pGo in peace.”

Jairus’s Daughter is Raised

Matt. 9:23–26; Mark 5:35–43

^49qWhile He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the ⁹Teacher.”

⁵⁰But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; ^ronly believe, and she will be made well.” ⁵¹When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go ¹in except ²Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. ⁵²Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, ^s“Do not weep; she is not dead, ^tbut sleeping.” ⁵³And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴But He ³put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, ^uarise.” ⁵⁵Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. ⁵⁶And her parents were astonished, but ^vHe charged them to tell no one what had happened.
