Luke 8:40-56
English Standard Version
Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus's Daughter
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd (A)welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. 41 (B)And there came a man named Jairus, who was (C)a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus' feet, he implored him to come to his house, 42 for he had (D)an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.
As Jesus went, the people (E)pressed around him. 43 And there was a woman (F)who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her (G)living on physicians,[a] she could not be healed by anyone. 44 She came up behind him and touched (H)the fringe of his garment, and (I)immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter[b] said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that (J)power has gone out from me.” 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48 And he said to her, “Daughter, (K)your faith has made you well; (L)go in peace.”
49 While he was still speaking, someone from (M)the ruler's house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; (N)do not trouble (O)the Teacher any more.” 50 But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” 51 And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except (P)Peter and (Q)John and James, and the father and mother of the child. 52 And all were weeping and (R)mourning for her, but he (S)said, “Do not weep, for (T)she is not dead but (U)sleeping.” 53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But (V)taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, (W)arise.” 55 And (X)her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat. 56 And her parents were amazed, but (Y)he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him,(A) for they were all expecting Him.(B) 41 Just then, a man named Jairus came. He was a leader of the synagogue.(C) He fell down at Jesus’ feet and pleaded with Him to come to his house, 42 because he had an only daughter(D) about 12 years old, and she was at death’s door.[a]
While He was going, the crowds were nearly crushing Him.(E) 43 A woman suffering from bleeding(F) for 12 years,(G) who had spent all she had on doctors[b] yet could not be healed by any, 44 approached from behind and touched the tassel of His robe.(H) Instantly her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter[c] said, “Master,(I) the crowds are hemming You in and pressing against You.”[d]
46 “Someone did touch Me,” said Jesus. “I know that power has gone out from Me.”(J) 47 When the woman saw that she was discovered,[e] she came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she declared the reason she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured. 48 “Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith has made you well.[f] Go in peace.”(K)
49 While He was still speaking,(L) someone came from the synagogue leader’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t bother(M) the Teacher(N) anymore.”
50 When Jesus heard it, He answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be made well.” 51 After He came to the house, He let no one enter with Him except Peter, John, James,(O) and the child’s father and mother. 52 Everyone was crying(P) and mourning for her.(Q) But He said, “Stop crying, for she is not dead but asleep.”(R)
53 They started laughing at Him, because they knew she was dead. 54 So He[g] took her by the hand(S) and called out, “Child, get up!”(T) 55 Her spirit returned,(U) and she got up at once. Then He gave orders that she be given something to eat. 56 Her parents were astounded, but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.(V)
