Luke 8

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 *Matt. 9:18–26; Mark 5:22–43And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she *Luke 7:2was dying.

But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 *Matt. 9:20Now a woman, having a *Luke 15:19–22flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and *Mark 6:56; Luke 5:13touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, "Who touched Me?"

When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ "

46 But Jesus said, "Somebody touched Me, for I perceived *Mark 5:30; Luke 6:19power going out from Me."47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

48 And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer;*Mark 5:34; Luke 7:50your faith has made you well. *John 8:11Go in peace."

49 *Mark 5:35While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."

50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; *(Mark 11:22–24)only believe, and she will be made well."51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, *Luke 7:13"Do not weep; she is not dead, *(John 11:11, 13)but sleeping."53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

54 But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, *Luke 7:14; John 11:43arise."55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but *Matt. 8:4; 9:30; Mark 5:43He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
