Luke 8:43-56

Goodspeed(i) 43 And a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and whom nobody had been able to cure, 44 came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak, and the hemorrhage stopped at once. 45 Jesus said, "Who was it who touched me?" And as everyone denied having done so, Peter said, "Master, the people are all around you and they are crowding you." 46 But Jesus said, "Somebody touched me, for I know that power passed from me." 47 When the woman saw that she had not escaped his notice, she came forward trembling, and fell down before him, and before all the people told why she had touched him, and how she had been cured at once. 48 And he said to her, "My daughter, it is your faith that has cured you. Go in peace." 49 Even as he spoke someone came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Master any more." 50 But Jesus heard it and said to him, "Do not be afraid; just have faith, and she will get well." 51 When he got to the house, he let no one go in with him but Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother. 52 And they were all wailing and beating their breasts for her. But he said, "Stop wailing! For she is not dead, she is asleep." 53 And they laughed at him, for they knew that she was dead. 54 But he grasped her hand and called out, "Get up, my child!" 55 And her spirit returned and she stood up immediately, and he directed them to give her something to eat. 56 And her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
