Luke 8 : 40 - 56
Chapter 8
| 40 | So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.
|
| 41 | And 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,
|
| 42 | for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.
|
| 43 | Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,
|
| 44 | came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
|
| 45 | And Jesus said, "Who touched Me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, "Who touched Me?"'
|
| 46 | But Jesus said, "Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me."
|
| 47 | Now 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.
|
| 48 | And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
|
| 49 | While 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 Teacher."
|
| 50 | But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well."
|
| 51 | When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
|
| 52 | Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping."
|
| 53 | And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.
|
| 54 | But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise."
|
| 55 | Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.
|
| 56 | And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
