A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

18 ^aWhile he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and ^bknelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman ^cwho had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched ^dthe fringe of his garment, 21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ^e“Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” ^fAnd instantly ^{▼▼Greek from that hour} the woman was made well. 23 And when Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw ^hthe flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, “Go away, for ⁱthe girl is not dead but ^jsleeping.” And they laughed at him. 25 But ^kwhen the crowd had been put outside, he went in and ^ltook her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 And the report of this went through all that district.

Luke 8:41-56

41 ^mAnd there came a man named Jairus, who was ⁿa ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he implored him to come to his house, 42 for he had ^oan only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.

As Jesus went, the people ^ppressed around him. 43 And there was a woman ^qwho had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her ^rliving on physicians, ^{▼▼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 ^tthe fringe of his garment, and ^uimmediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter ^{▼▼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 ^wpower 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, ^xyour faith has made you well; ^ygo in peace.”

49 While he was still speaking, someone from ^zthe ruler’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; ^aado not trouble ^abthe 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 ^acPeter and ^adJohn and James, and the father and mother of the child. 52 And all were weeping and ^aemourning for her, but he ^afsaid, “Do not weep, for ^agshe is not dead but ^ahsleeping.” 53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But ^aitaking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, ^ajarise.” 55 And ^akher 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 ^alhe charged them to tell no one what had happened.
