Jairus' Daughter and the Woman Who Touches Jesus

Matthew 9

¹⁸ While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

¹⁹ Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

²⁰ Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;

²¹ for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”

²² But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

²³ When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

²⁴ he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.

²⁵ But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

²⁶ The report of this went out into all that land.

Mark 5

²¹ When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

²² Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet

²³ and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.”

²⁴ He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.

²⁵ A certain woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years,

²⁶ and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

²⁷ having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.

²⁸ For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”

²⁹ Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

³⁰ Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

³¹ His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

³² He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

³³ But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

³⁴ He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”

³⁵ While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?”

³⁶ But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.”

³⁷ He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

³⁸ He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.

³⁹ When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”

⁴⁰ They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

⁴¹ Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”

⁴² Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.

⁴³ He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.

Luke 8

⁴⁰ When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

⁴¹ Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,

⁴² for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.

⁴³ A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,

⁴⁴ came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.

⁴⁵ Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”

⁴⁷ When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸ He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

⁴⁹ While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”

⁵⁰ But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”

⁵¹ When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

⁵² All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”

⁵³ They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴ But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”

⁵⁵ Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.

⁵⁶ Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
