Luke 8:40-56

Miracles of Healing

40 ¹And as Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41 ²And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an ³official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house;

42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.

43 And a woman who had a hemorrhage * for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone,

44 came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage * stopped.

45 And Jesus said, "Who is the one who touched Me?" And while they were all denying it, Peter said, "⁴Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You."

46 But Jesus said, "Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that ⁵power had gone out of Me."

47 When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reason why * she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed.

48 And He said to her, "Daughter, ⁶your faith has made you well; ⁷go in peace."

49 While He was still speaking, someone came from the house of ⁸the synagogue official, saying, "Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore."

50 But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, "⁹Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be made well."

51 When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl's father and mother.

52 Now they were all weeping and ¹⁰lamenting for her; but He said, "Stop weeping, for she has not died, but ¹¹is asleep."

53 And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died.

54 He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Child, arise!"

55 And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He gave orders for something to be given her to eat.

56 Her parents were amazed; but He ¹²instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
