Jairus' Daughter and the Woman Healed

Free Bible Version (FBV)

Mat 9:18–26

18 While he was telling them this, one of the leading officials came and bowed before him. “My daughter has just died,” the man told Jesus. “But if you come and place your hand on her, I know she will come back to life.”
19 Jesus and his disciples got up and followed him.
20 At that moment a woman who had been sick with bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the hem of his cloak.
21 She had told herself, “If I can just touch his cloak, I'll be healed.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Be happy, for your trust in me has healed you,” he told her. The woman was immediately healed.
23 Jesus arrived at the official's house. He saw the flute-players and the crowd that was weeping loudly.
24 “Please leave,” he told them, “For the girl isn't dead, she's just asleep.” But they laughed and made fun of him.
25 But once the crowd had been sent out, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
26 News of what happened spread throughout that region.

Mrk 5:21–43

21 Jesus went back again by boat to the other side of the lake where a large crowd gathered around him at the shore.
22 A synagogue leader, a man named Jairus, came to him. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet
23 and pleaded with him, saying, “My little daughter is about to die. Please come and place your hands on her so she may be healed and live.”
24 So Jesus went with him. Everybody followed, crowding and jostling him.
25 A woman was there who had been ill from bleeding for twelve years.
26 She'd suffered considerably under the care of many doctors, and had spent all she had. But nothing helped her—in fact she'd grown worse.
27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd, and touched his cloak.
28 She was telling herself, “If I can just touch his cloak, I'll be healed.”
29 The bleeding stopped immediately, and she felt her body healed from her disease.
30 Jesus, sensing at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my cloak?”
31 “Look at the crowd jostling you. What do you mean, ‘Who touched me?’” the disciples replied.
32 But Jesus went on looking around to see who had done it.
33 The woman, realizing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
34 “My daughter, your trust in me has healed you. Go in peace. You have been completely cured of your disease,” Jesus told her.
35 While he was still speaking some people came from the home of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
36 But Jesus paid no attention to what they said. He told the synagogue leader, “Don't be afraid, just trust in me.”
37 He wouldn't let anyone go with him except Peter, James, and James' brother John.
38 When they arrived at the synagogue leader's house, Jesus saw all the commotion, with people crying and wailing.
39 He went in and asked them, “Why are you making such a commotion with all this crying? The little girl isn't dead, she's just sleeping.”
40 They laughed scornfully at him. Jesus made everyone leave. Then he went into the room where the little girl was lying, taking with him the child's father and mother, and the three disciples.
41 Taking the little girl's hand he said, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!”
42 The little girl, who was twelve years old, got up immediately and began walking around. They were completely astonished at what had happened.
43 He gave them strict instructions not to let anyone know, and he told them to give the little girl something to eat.

Luk 8:40–56

40 A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
41 One was a man called Jairus, a synagogue leader, who came and fell at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his home
42 because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
43 In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to help her.
44 She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so. “But Master,” said Peter, “there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you.”
46 “Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
47 When the woman realized she couldn't go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she'd been cured immediately.
48 Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the home of the synagogue leader to tell him, “Your daughter's dead. You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
50 But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
51 When Jesus arrived at the house he didn't allow anyone else to go in except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.
52 All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
53 They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
55 She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56 Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
