Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus's Daughter

Luke 8

40 Now when Jesus came back [to Galilee], the crowd received and welcomed Him gladly, for they were all waiting and looking for Him. 41 And there came a man named Jairus, who had [for a 1 long time] been a director of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he begged Him to come to his house,

42 For he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As [Jesus] went, the people pressed together around Him [almost suffocating Him]. 43 And a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years 2 and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed by anyone, 44 Came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately her flow of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, Who is it who touched Me? When all were denying it, Peter 3 and those who were with him said, Master, the multitudes surround You and press You on every side! 46 But Jesus said, Someone did touch Me; for I perceived that [healing] power has gone forth from Me. 47 And when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came up trembling, and, falling down before Him, she declared in the presence of all the people for what reason she had touched Him and how she had been instantly cured. 48 And He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your confidence and trust in Me) has made you well! Go (enter) 4 into peace ( 5 untroubled, undisturbed well-being).

49 While He was still speaking, a man from the house of the director of the synagogue came and said [to Jairus], Your daughter is dead; do not 6 weary and trouble the Teacher any further. 50 But Jesus, on hearing this, answered him, Do not be seized with alarm or struck with fear; simply believe [ 7 in Me as able to do this], and she shall be made well. 51 And when He came to the house, He permitted no one to enter with Him except Peter and John and James, and the girl's father and mother. 52 And all were weeping for and bewailing her; but He said, Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping. 53 And they laughed Him to scorn, knowing full well that she was dead. 54 And grasping her hand, He called, saying, Child, arise [ 8 from the sleep of death]! 55 And her spirit returned [ 9 from death], and she arose immediately; and He directed that she should be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were amazed, but He charged them to tell no one what had occurred.
