Luke 8:41-56

41And here came a man named Jairus, a leader in the synagogue. Falling at Yeshua’s feet, he begged Him to come to his house,

42because his only daughter, about twelve years old, was dying. But as He made His way, the masses were crushing in upon Him.

43And there was a woman with a blood flow for twelve years, who could not be healed by anyone.

44She came up from behind and touched the tzitzit of Yeshua’s garment. Immediately, her blood flow stopped.

45Yeshua said, “Who touched Me?” When everyone denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding You and pressing in!”

46But Yeshua said, “Someone touched Me, for I recognized power going out from Me.”

47Then seeing that she did not escape notice, the woman came trembling and fell prostrate before Him. In the presence of all the people, she confessed why she had touched Him and how she had been healed immediately.

48He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in shalom.”

49While He was still speaking, someone comes from the house of the synagogue leader, saying, “Your daughter has died. Don’t bother the Teacher anymore.”

50But hearing this, Yeshua replied to him, “Do not fear—just keep trusting, and she shall be restored.”

51When Yeshua came into the house, He didn’t let anyone enter with Him except Peter, John, Jacob, and the child’s father and mother.

52And everyone was weeping and lamenting her; but He said, “Don’t weep, for she didn’t die but is sleeping.”

53But they were ridiculing Him, knowing she had died.

54But Yeshua, took her by the hand and called out, saying, “Child, get up!”

55Her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. Yeshua ordered food to be given to her to eat.

56Her parents were utterly astonished, but He ordered them to say nothing of what had happened.
