Luke 8:41–56

⁴¹and lo, there came a man, whose name is Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house; ⁴²because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him, ⁴³and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any, ⁴⁴having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood. ⁴⁵And Jesus said, ‘Who is it that touched me?’ and all denying, Peter and those with him said, ‘Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng thee, and thou dost say, Who is it that touched me!’ ⁴⁶And Jesus said, ‘Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.’ ⁴⁷And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently; ⁴⁸and he said to her, ‘Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.’ ⁴⁹While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue’s house, saying to him—‘Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;’ ⁵⁰and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, ‘Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.’ ⁵¹And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother; ⁵²and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, ‘Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep; ⁵³and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die; ⁵⁴and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, ‘Child, arise;’ ⁵⁵and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat; ⁵⁶and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.
