Luke 8:40-56

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jairus, a Synagogue Official, Comes To Jesus About His Dying Daughter

⁴⁰ And during Jesus’ returning, the crowd welcomed Him, for they were all expecting Him. ⁴¹ And behold— a man came, for whom the name was Jairus. And this one was an official^[a] of the synagogue. And having fallen at^[b] the feet of Jesus, he was begging Him to enter into his house, ⁴² because there was an only-born daughter to him, about twelve years old, and she was dying.

On The Way, a Woman Touches The Garment of Jesus And Is Healed

Now during His going, the crowds were thronging^[c] Him. ⁴³ And a woman being in a flow of blood for twelve years— who, having expended her whole living on physicians, was not able to be cured by anyone— ⁴⁴ having approached from behind, touched the tassel of His garment. And at once her flow of blood stopped. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said, “Who is the one having touched Me?” And while all were denying it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are enclosing You and pressing-against You”. ⁴⁶ But Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I recognized^[d] power^[e] having gone forth from Me”. ⁴⁷ And the woman, having seen that she did not escape-notice, came trembling. And having fallen before Him, she declared in the presence of all the people for what reason she touched Him, and how she was healed at-once. ⁴⁸ And the One said to her, “Daughter, your faith has restored^[f] you. Go in peace”.

The Daughter Dies Before Jesus Arrives. He Raises Her From The Dead

⁴⁹ While He is still speaking, someone comes from [the house of] the synagogue-official, saying that “Your daughter is dead. Be troubling the Teacher no longer”. ⁵⁰ But Jesus, having heard, responded to him, “Do not be fearing. Only believe, and she will be restored”. ⁵¹ And having come to the house, He did not permit anyone to go in with Him except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child, and the mother. ⁵² Now they^[g] were all weeping and beating-their-breasts for her. But the One said, “Do not be weeping, for she did not die, but she is sleeping”. ⁵³ And they were laughing-scornfully at Him, knowing that she died. ⁵⁴ But He, having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise!” ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she stood up at-once. And He directed that something should be given to her to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished. And the One ordered them to tell no one the thing having taken place.
