Luke 8:40-56…<\/span><\/p>\n

40 On the other side of the lake the crowds welcomed Jesus, because they had been waiting for him.\u00a0 Then a man named Jairus, a leader of the local synagogue, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come home with him.\u00a0 His only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Jesus went with him, he was surrounded by the crowds.\u00a0 A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, and she could find no cure.\u00a0 Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped.\"Sistine<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you.”<\/span><\/p>\n

46 But Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.”\u00a0 When the woman realized that she could not stay hidden, she began to tremble and fell to her knees before him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed.\u00a0 “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”<\/span><\/p>\n

49 While he was still speaking to her, a messenger arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. He told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”<\/span><\/p>\n

50 But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”<\/span><\/p>\n

51 When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn’t let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the little girl’s father and mother.\u00a0 The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but he said, “Stop the weeping! She isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”<\/span><\/p>\n

53 But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died.\u00a0 Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”\u00a0 And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up! Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.\u00a0 Her parents were overwhelmed, but Jesus insisted that they not tell anyone what had happened.<\/span>\nHoly Bible, New Living Translation \u00ae, copyright \u00a9 1996, 2004 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.
