Luke 8:40-42

Good News Translation

Jairus' Daughter and the Woman Who Touched Jesus' Cloak^(A)

⁴⁰ When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the people welcomed him, because they had all been waiting for him. ⁴¹ Then a man named Jairus arrived; he was an official in the local synagogue. He threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to go to his home, ⁴² because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying.

As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side.
