44. The woman came behind Jesus and touched the bottom of his coat. At that moment, her bleeding stopped.
45. Then Jesus said, “Who touched me?” They all said they had not touched him. And Peter said, “Master, people are all around you, pushing against you.”
46. But Jesus said, “Someone touched me. I felt power go out from me.”
47. When the woman saw that she could not hide, she came forward, shaking. She bowed down before Jesus. While everyone listened, she told why she touched him. Then she said that she was healed immediately when she touched him.
48. Jesus said to her, “My daughter, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace.”
49. While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of the synagogue leader and said, “Your daughter has died! Don’t bother the Teacher anymore.”
50. Jesus heard this and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid! Just believe and your daughter will be well.”
51. Jesus went to the house. He let only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s father and mother go inside with him.
52. Everyone was crying and feeling sad because the girl was dead. But Jesus said, “Don’t cry. She is not dead. She is only sleeping.”
53. The people laughed at him, because they knew that the girl was dead.
54. But Jesus held her hand and called to her, “Little girl, stand up!”
55. Her spirit came back into her, and she stood up immediately. Jesus said, “Give her something to eat.”
56. The girl’s parents were amazed. He told them not to tell anyone about what happened.
