A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

40 So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.

41 ^aAnd behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house,

42 for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she ^awas dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.

43 ^aNow a woman, having a ^bflow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,

44 came from behind and ^atouched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” When all denied it, Peter¹ and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You,² and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
