Luke 8.40-56
A Dying Girl and a Sick Woman
"Everyone had been waiting for Jesus, and when he came back, a crowd
was there to welcome him. Just then the man in charge of the Jewish
meeting place came and knelt down in front of Jesus. His name was
Jairus, and he begged Jesus to come to his home because his
twelve-year-old child was dying. She was his only daughter.
While Jesus was on his way, people were crowding all around him. In
the crowd was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. She had
spent everything she had on doctors, but none of them could make her
well.
As soon as she came up behind Jesus and barely touched his clothes,
her bleeding stopped. "Who touched me?" Jesus asked. While everyone
was denying it, Peter said, "Master, people are crowding all around
and pushing you from every side." But Jesus answered, "Someone touched
me, because I felt power going out from me." The woman knew that she
could not hide, so she came trembling and knelt down in front of
Jesus. She told everyone why she had touched him and that she had been
healed right away. Jesus said to the woman, "You are now well because
of your faith. May God give you peace!" While Jesus was speaking,
someone came from Jairus' home and said, "Your daughter has died! Why
bother the teacher anymore?" When Jesus heard this, he told Jairus,
"Don't worry! Have faith, and your daughter will get well." Jesus went
into the house, but he did not let anyone else go with him, except
Peter, John, James, and the girl's father and mother. Everyone was
crying and weeping for the girl. But Jesus said, "The child isn't
dead. She is just asleep." The people laughed at him because they
knew she was dead.
Jesus took hold of the girl's hand and said, "Child, get up!" She
came back to life and got right up. Jesus told them to give her
something to eat. Her parents were surprised, but Jesus ordered them
not to tell anyone what had happened."
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.
