Luke 8:40-56.
Luke 8:40-56 (Good News Translation)
40When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the people welcomed
him, because they had all been waiting for him.
41Then 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,
42because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was
dying.
As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every
side.
43Among them was a woman who had suffered from severe bleeding
for twelve years; she had spent all she had on doctors,
but no one had been able to cure her.
44She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of
his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once.
45Jesus asked,
“Who touched me?”
Everyone denied it, and Peter said,
“Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on
you.”
46But Jesus said,
“Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of
me.”
47The woman saw that she had been found out, so she came
trembling and threw herself at Jesus' feet. There in front of everybody,
she told him why she had touched him and how she had been healed at once.
48Jesus said to her,
“My daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in
peace.”
49While Jesus was saying this, a messenger came from the
official's house.
“Your daughter has died,” he told Jairus;
“don't bother the Teacher any longer.”
50But Jesus heard it and said to Jairus,
“Don't be afraid; only believe, and she will be
well.”
51When he arrived at the house, he would not let anyone go in
with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother.
52Everyone there was crying and mourning for the child. Jesus
said,
“Don't cry; the child is not dead—she is only
sleeping!”
53They all made fun of him, because they knew that she was
dead.
54But Jesus took her by the hand and called out,
“Get up, child!”
55Her life returned, and she got up at once, and Jesus ordered
them to give her something to eat.
56Her parents were astounded, but Jesus commanded them not to
tell anyone what had happened.
