Luke:8:40-56
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it happened when Jesus had returned ,
the people received Him .
For they were all waiting for Him .
*
And behold ,
a man named Jairus came ,
and he was a synagogue-ruler .
And he fell down at Jesus '
feet and begged Him that He would come into his house .
*
For he had an only daughter ,
about twelve years of age ,
and she lay dying .
But as He went ,
the people thronged Him .
*
And a woman who had a flow of blood twelve years (
who had spent all her living on physicians , [
and ]
could not be healed by any )
*
came behind [
Him ]
and touched the border of His garment .
And instantly her flow of blood was staunched .
*
And Jesus said ,
Who touched Me ?
And all having denied ,
Peter and those with Him said ,
Master ,
the crowd presses and jostles You ,
and You say ,
Who touched Me ?
*
And Jesus said ,
Someone has touched Me ,
for I know that power has gone out of Me .
*
And seeing that she was not hidden ,
the woman came trembling .
And falling down before Him ,
she declared to Him before all the people why she had touched Him ,
and how she was instantly healed .
*
And He said to her ,
Daughter ,
be comforted .
Your faith has saved you ;
go in peace .
*
He was still speaking when someone came from the synagogue-ruler ,
saying to him ,
Your daughter is dead ,
do not trouble the Teacher .
*
But when Jesus heard ,
He answered Him ,
saying ,
Do not fear ,
only believe and she shall be healed .
*
And coming into the house ,
He allowed no one to go in ,
except Peter and James and John ,
and the father and the mother of the girl .
*
And all were weeping and bewailing her .
But He said ,
Do not weep ;
she has not died ,
but sleeps .
*
And they ridiculed ,
knowing that she was dead .
*
And He put them all out .
And He took her by the hand and called ,
saying ,
Little girl ,
arise !
*
And her spirit came again ,
and she arose immediately .
And He commanded that [
food ]
be given her to eat .
*
And her parents were astonished .
But He charged them to tell no one the thing that happened .
