叶鲁的女儿和经血不止的女人

40耶稣回来的时候,众人迎接他,因为他们都等候着他。 41有一个会堂主管,名叫叶鲁,来俯伏在耶稣脚前,求耶稣到他家里去, 42因为他有一个独生女,约十二岁,快要死了。

耶稣去的时候,众人簇拥着他。 43有一个女人,患了经血不止的病有十二年,在医生手里花尽了一生所有的,但没有人能治好她。 44她来到耶稣背后,摸他的衣裳繸子,经血立刻止住了。 45耶稣说:“摸我的是谁?”众人都不承认。彼得说:“老师,众人拥拥挤挤紧靠着你。” 46耶稣说:“有人摸了我,因为我觉得有能力从我身上出去。” 47那女人知道瞒不住了,就战战兢兢地俯伏在耶稣跟前,把摸他的缘故和怎样立刻痊愈的事,当着众人都说出来。 48耶稣对她说:“女儿,你的信救了你。平安地回去吧!”

49耶稣还在说话的时候,有人从会堂主管的家里来,说:“你的女儿死了,不要劳驾老师了。” 50耶稣听见就对他说:“不要怕,只要信!她必得痊愈。” 51耶稣到了他的家,除了彼得约翰雅各,和女儿的父母,不许别人同他进去。 52众人都在为这女孩哀哭捶胸。耶稣说:“不要哭,她不是死了,是睡着了。” 53他们知道她已经死了,就嘲笑耶稣。 54耶稣拉着她的手,呼叫着:“孩子,起来吧!” 55她的灵魂就回来了,她立刻起来。耶稣吩咐给她东西吃。 56她的父母非常惊奇;耶稣吩咐他们不要把所发生的事告诉任何人。

Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus’s Daughter

40Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. 41And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he implored him to come to his house, 42for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.

As Jesus went, the people pressed around him. 43And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone. 44She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” 46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” 47And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

49While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” 50But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” 51And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child. 52And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.” 53And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.” 55And her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat. 56And her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.
