========================
Luke 8:40-56
========================
40Now when Jesus returned, a
crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
41Then a man named Jairus, a
synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his
house
42because his only daughter,
a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost
crushed him.
43And a woman was there who
had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her.
44She came up behind him and
touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45“Who touched me?” Jesus
asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding
and pressing against you.”
46But Jesus said, “Someone
touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
47Then the woman, seeing that
she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the
presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had
been instantly healed.
48Then he said to her, “Daughter,
your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
49While Jesus was still
speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your
daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”
50Hearing this, Jesus said to
Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51When he arrived at the
house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and
James, and the child’s father and mother.
52Meanwhile, all the people
were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead
but asleep.”
53They laughed at him,
knowing that she was dead.
54But he took her by the hand
and said, “My child, get up!”
55Her spirit returned, and at
once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56Her parents were
astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
