New Testament

Luke 8:44-52 Common English Bible (CEB)

44. She came up behind him and touched the hem of his clothes, and at once her bleeding stopped.

45. "Who touched me?" Jesus asked. When everyone denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing in on you!"

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

47. When the woman saw that she couldn’t escape notice, she came trembling and fell before Jesus. In front of everyone, she explained why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.

48. "Daughter, your faith has healed you," Jesus said. "Go in peace."

49. While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader’s house, saying to Jairus, "Your daughter has died. Don’t bother the teacher any longer."

50. When Jesus heard this, he responded, "Don’t be afraid; just keep trusting, and she will be healed."

51. When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.

52. They were all crying and mourning for her, but Jesus said, "Don’t cry. She isn’t dead. She’s only sleeping."
