Luke 8:40-56.
Luke 8:40-56 (GNT)
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. 43
Among 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. 44 She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and
touched the edge of his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once. 45
Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" Everyone denied it, and Peter said,
"Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you." 46 But
Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of
me." 47 The 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. 48 Jesus said to her, "My daughter, your faith has
made you well. Go in peace." 49 While 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." 50 But Jesus heard
it and said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; only believe, and she will be
well." 51 When 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. 52 Everyone there was crying and mourning for the child. Jesus
said, "Don't cry; the child is not dead—she is only sleeping!" 53 They
all made fun of him, because they knew that she was dead. 54 But Jesus
took her by the hand and called out, "Get up, child!" 55 Her life
returned, and she got up at once, and Jesus ordered them to give her
something to eat. 56 Her parents were astounded, but Jesus commanded
them not to tell anyone what had happened.
and to offer the comforting words of your saving love to those who
are hurting and in need of your care. Amen."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
