Luke

Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,

for he had an only born‡ daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.

A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,

came behind him and touched the fringe§ of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.

But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”

When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”

They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.

But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”

Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.

Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
