43. A woman was there who had a sickness that made her bleed. Her sickness had lasted for 12 years. No one could heal her.
44. She came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his clothes. Right away her bleeding stopped.
45. "Who touched me?" Jesus asked. They all said they didn't do it. Then Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pushing against you."
46. But Jesus said, "Someone touched me. I know that power has gone out from me."
47. The woman realized that people would notice her. Shaking with fear, she came and fell at his feet. In front of everyone, she told why she had touched him. She also told how she had been healed in an instant.
48. Then he said to her, "Dear woman, your faith has healed you. Go in peace."
49. While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus. Jairus was the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," the messenger said. "Don't bother the teacher anymore."
50. Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid. Just believe. She will be healed."
