Luke 8:42-56

42for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.

43And a woman who had suffered a chronic flow of blood for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, 44came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His 1cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “2Master, the 3people are crowding and pressing in on You.” 46But Jesus said, “Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that 4power had left Me.” 47Now when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and admitted in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48And He said to her, “Daughter, 5your faith has 6made you well; 7go in peace.”

49While He was still speaking, someone came from the house of 8the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.” 50But when Jesus heard this, He responded to him, “9Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be 10made well.” 51When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him except Peter, John, and James, and the girl’s father and mother. 52Now they were all weeping and 11mourning for her; but He said, “Stop weeping, for she has not died, but 12is asleep.” 53And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died. 54He, however, took her by the hand and spoke 13forcefully, saying, “Child, arise!” 55And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He ordered that something be given her to eat. 56Her parents were amazed; but He 14instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
