Luke 8:40-56
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.

A Woman Healed and a Daughter Raised
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him. 41 And behold, a man who was named[a] Jairus came, and this man was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus and[b] began imploring[c] him to come to his house, 42 because he had[d] an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying.
Now as he was going, the crowds were pressing against him. 43 And a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages[e] for twelve years (who, although she[f] had spent all her[g] assets on physicians, was not able to be healed by anyone) 44 came up behind him and[h] touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her hemorrhaging[i] stopped. 45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched me?” And when they[j] all denied it,[k] Peter said, “Master, the crowds are pressing you hard and crowding you!”[l] 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, because I know power has gone out from me.” 47 And when[m] the woman saw that she did not escape notice, she came trembling and falling down before him. In the presence of all the people, she told for what reason she had touched him, and that she was healed immediately. 48 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49 While[n] he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead! Trouble the Teacher no longer!” 50 But Jesus, when he[o] heard this,[p] replied to him, “Do not be afraid! Only believe, and she will be healed.” 51 Now when he[q] came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child. 52 And they were all weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep! For she is not dead, but is sleeping.” 53 And they began laughing[r] at him, because they[s] knew that she was dead. 54 But he took her hand and[t] called, saying, “Child, get up.” 55 And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately, and he ordered something[u] to be given to her to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
