Luke 8:40-9:6

New King James Version

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

⁴⁰ So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. ^41 (A)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 ^(B)was dying.

But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. ^43 (C)Now a woman, having a ^(D)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 ^(E)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 ^[a]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, ^[b]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived ^(F)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, ^[c]be of good cheer; ^(G)your faith has made you well. ^(H)Go in peace.”

^49 (I)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 ^[d]Teacher.”

⁵⁰ But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; ^(J)only believe, and she will be made well.” ⁵¹ When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go ^[e]in except ^[f]Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. ⁵² Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, ^(K)“Do not weep; she is not dead, ^(L)but sleeping.” ⁵³ And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴ But He ^[g]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, ^(M)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 ^(N)He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

Sending Out the Twelve^(O)

9 Then ^(P)He called His twelve disciples together and ^(Q)gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. ^2 (R)He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. ^3 (S)And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.

^4 (T)“Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. ^5 (U)And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, ^(V)shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”

^6 (W)So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
