Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus’s Daughter
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd ch. 9:11welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. 41 For ver. 41-56, see Matt. 9:18-26;Mark 5:22-43And there came a man named Jairus, who was ch. 13:14;Acts 13:15;18:8,17a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he implored him to come to his house, 42 for he had See ch. 7:12an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.
As Jesus went, the people ver. 45;Mark 3:9pressed around him. 43 And there was a woman Lev. 15:25who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her ch. 21:4;Mark 12:44living on physicians,8:43 Some manuscripts omit and though she had spent all her living on physicians she could not be healed by anyone. 44 She came up behind him and touched Matt. 14:36;23:5;[Num. 15:38,39;Deut. 22:12] the fringe of his garment, and Matt. 15:28;17:18immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter8:45 Some manuscripts add and those who were with him said, "Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!" 46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I perceive that ch. 5:17;6:19;[Acts 10:38]power has gone out from me."47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48 And he said to her, "Daughter, See ch. 7:50your faith has made you well; See ch. 7:50go in peace."
49 While he was still speaking, someone from ver. 41the ruler’s house came and said, "Your daughter is dead; ch. 7:6do not trouble See John 11:28the Teacher any more." 50 But Jesus on hearing this answered him, "Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well."51 And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except ch. 9:28;Mark 14:33Peter and Mark 3:17John and James, and the father and mother of the child. 52 And all were weeping and ch. 23:27;Matt. 11:17mourning for her, but he ch. 7:13said, "Do not weep, for [Acts 20:10] she is not dead but John 11:4,11sleeping."53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But See Mark 1:31taking her by the hand he called, saying, "Child, ch. 7:14,22;[Matt. 11:5;John 11:43]arise."55 And [Judg. 15:19;1 Sam. 30:12]her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat. 56 And her parents were amazed, but See Matt. 8:4he charged them to tell no one what had happened.
