Luke 8:41-56

41Just thenG2532G2400 a synagogueG4864 leaderG758 namedG3686 JairusG2383 cameG2064 andG2532 fellG4098 atG3844 JesusG2424’ feetG4228. He beggedG3870 HimG846 to comeG1525 toG1519 hisG846 houseG3624, 42becauseG3754 hisG846G1510 onlyG3439 daughterG2364, who was aboutG5613 twelveG1427G2094, was dyingG599.

AsG1722 Jesus wentG5217 with him, theG3588 crowdsG3793 pressed aroundG4846 HimG846, 43includingG2532 a womanG1135 who had sufferedG1510 from bleedingG1722G4511G129 forG575 twelveG1427 yearsG2094. She had spentG4321 allG3650 herG3588 moneyG979 on physiciansG2395,1 but no oneG3762 was ableG2480 to healG2323 her. 44She came upG4334 behindG3693 Jesus and touchedG680 theG3588 fringeG2899 of HisG846 cloakG2440, andG2532 immediatelyG3916 herG846 bleedingG3588G4511G129 stoppedG2476.

45“WhoG5101 touchedG680 MeG1473?” JesusG2424 askedG2036.

ButG1161 they allG3956 deniedG720 it. “MasterG1988,” saidG2036 PeterG4074,2 “theG3588 peopleG3793 are crowdingG4912 andG2532 pressing againstG598 YouG4771.”

46ButG1161 JesusG2424 declaredG2036, “SomeoneG5100 touchedG680 MeG1473, forG1063 IG1473 know thatG1097 powerG1411 has gone outG1831 fromG575 MeG1473.”

47ThenG1161 theG3588 womanG1135, seeingG3708 thatG3754 she could not escape noticeG3756G2990, cameG2064 tremblingG5141 andG2532 fell down beforeG4363 HimG846. In the presence ofG1799 allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992, she explainedG518 whyG1223G3739G156 she had touchedG680 HimG846 andG2532 howG5613 she had immediately been healedG2390G3916.

48“DaughterG2364,” saidG2036G846 Jesus, “yourG4771 faithG4102 has healedG4982 youG4771. GoG4198 inG1519 peaceG1515.”

49While HeG846 was stillG2089 speakingG2980, someoneG5100 arrivedG2064 fromG3844 theG3588 house of the synagogue leaderG752. “YourG4771 daughterG2364 is deadG2348,” he toldG3004 Jairus. “Do not botherG4660 theG3588 TeacherG1320 anymore.”

50ButG1161 JesusG2424 overheardG191 them and saidG611 toG846 Jairus, “Do notG3361 be afraidG5399; justG3440 believeG4100, andG2532 she will be healedG4982.”

51WhenG1161 He enteredG2064G1519 theG3588 houseG3614, He did not allowG3756G863 anyoneG5100 to go inG1525 withG4862 HimG846 exceptG1487G3361 PeterG4074, JohnG2491, JamesG2385, andG2532 theG3588 child’sG3816 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384. 52MeanwhileG1161, everyoneG3956 was weepingG2799 andG2532 mourning forG2875 herG846. ButG1161 Jesus saidG2036, “Stop weepingG3361G2799; she is not deadG3756G599 butG235 asleepG2518.” 53AndG2532 they laughed atG2606 HimG846, knowingG1492 thatG3754 she was deadG599.

54ButG1161 Jesus tookG2902 herG846 by theG3588 handG5495 and called outG5455G3004, “ChildG3816, get upG1453!” 55HerG846 spiritG4151 returnedG1994, andG2532 at onceG3916 she got upG450. AndG2532 He directed thatG1299 sheG846 be givenG1325 something to eatG5315. 56HerG846 parentsG1118 were astoundedG1839, butG1161 Jesus orderedG3853 themG846 not to tellG2036 anyone whatG3588 had happenedG1096.
