Luke 8:40-50

40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Just then there came a man named Jairus, a leader of the synagogue. He fell at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house,
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying. As he went, the crowds pressed in on him.
43 Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years; and though she had spent all she had on physicians, no one could cure her.
44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his clothes, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped.
45 Then Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds surround you and press in on you."
46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; for I noticed that power had gone out from me."
47 When the woman saw that she could not remain hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him, she declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."
49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the leader's house to say, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer."
50 When Jesus heard this, he replied, "Do not fear. Only believe, and she will be saved."
