Luke 8:40-48

40Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.

41Then a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue, came up. Falling at Jesus’ feet, he pleaded with him to come to his house,

42because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds pressed around him.

43Now a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years but could not be healed by anyone.

44She came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and at once the bleeding stopped.

45Then Jesus asked, “Who was it who touched me?” When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing against you!”

46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”

47When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.

48Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
