雅魯求救

40 耶穌回到對岸,受到等候在那裡的百姓的歡迎。 41 一個名叫雅魯的會堂主管走過來俯伏在耶穌腳前,求耶穌到他家去,因為他有一個大約十二歲的獨生女快要死了。

42 耶穌前去雅魯家的時候,人群擁擠著祂。

患血漏病婦人的信心

43 有一個患了十二年血漏病的婦人耗盡了積蓄,到處求醫,但沒有人能醫治她。 44 婦人擠到耶穌的背後,摸了一下祂衣服的穗邊,她的血漏立刻止住了。

45 耶穌問:「誰摸我?」沒有人說摸過祂。

彼得說:「老師,眾人都在擁擠你。」

46 耶穌卻說:「一定有人摸了我,因為我感覺有能力從我身上出去。」

47 那婦人知道無法隱瞞,就戰戰兢兢地走過來,俯伏在耶穌腳前,把她摸了耶穌的衣裳後頑疾馬上痊癒的始末當眾說了出來。

48 耶穌對她說:「女兒,你的信心救了你!安心回去吧。」

雅魯女兒死而復活

49 耶穌還在說話的時候,有人從雅魯家趕來,對雅魯說:「你的女兒已經死了,不用麻煩老師了。」

50 耶穌聽見,就對雅魯說:「不要怕,只要信。你的女兒一定會好的!」

51 到了雅魯家,耶穌只准彼得、雅各、約翰和雅魯夫婦跟祂進去。 52 屋內的人都在為那女孩哀傷哭泣,耶穌說:「不要哭,她沒有死,只是睡著了。」 53 眾人就譏笑祂,因為他們明明知道那女孩死了。 54 耶穌拉著那女孩的手,說:「孩子,起來!」 55 她的靈魂就回來了,她立刻站了起來。耶穌吩咐人給她東西吃。 56 她的父母非常驚訝,耶穌卻囑咐他們不要把這事傳開。

Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(A)

40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader,(B) came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding(C) for twelve years,[a] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak,(D) and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master,(E) the people are crowding and pressing against you.”

46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me;(F) I know that power has gone out from me.”(G)

47 Then 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. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.(H) Go in peace.”(I)

49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.(J) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”

50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James,(K) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning(L) for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”(M)

53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”(N) 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.(O)

  1. Luke 8:43 Many manuscripts years, and she had spent all she had on doctors

40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received 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 besought him that he would come into his house:

42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
