Jairus' Daughter and the Bleeding Woman

After Jesus cast the demons out, He and His closest followers went back to the other side of the lake, and there was a large crowd waiting for them there.

And a man named Jairus ran up to Jesus and said, “Jesus, my daughter is dying, please come and heal her.” So, Jesus went with him to his house, and the large crowd also went along with them.

In the crowd was a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years. She had seen lots of doctors and spent all of her money. But, in the end she only got worse.

The woman thought, “If I could just touch his clothes, I know I’ll be healed.” So, she worked her way through the crowd and came up behind Jesus and reached out and touched his robe. All of sudden, the bleeding stopped and she could feel that she was all better.

Well, Jesus felt that power had gone out of him, and He immediately stopped and turned around and said, “Who touched me?”

One of Jesus’ closest followers said to him, “What do you mean ‘who touched you’? There is a huge crowd pressing all around you.” But Jesus kept looking around to see who touched Him.

Finally, the woman came forward, and she was so afraid that she was literally shaking, and she fell on her knees in front of Jesus and told him everything that happened and how she had been healed.

And Jesus said to the woman, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. You’re not going to suffer from this anymore.”

At the same time, someone from Jairus’s house came and said to the man, "Don't bother Jesus anymore. Your daughter has died.

But Jesus looked at Jairus and said, "Don't be afraid. Just believe”. So, they continued to the house.

When they got to the house, they saw a huge crowd had gathered and were crying over the girl's death.

Then Jesus took Jairus and his wife, and three of his closest followers and went into the room where the girl's body was. Then he took the girl's hand and said to her, "Little girl, get up". And immediately she got up. And everyone was amazed.
