Luke 8:40–9:17

Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus’s Daughter

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

As Jesus went, the people spressed around him. 43 And there was a woman twho had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her uliving on physicians,1 she could not be healed by anyone. 44 She came up behind him and touched vthe fringe of his garment, and wimmediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, Who was it that touched me? When all denied it, Peter2 said, Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you! 46 But Jesus said, Someone touched me, for I perceive that xpower has gone out from me. 47 And 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. 48 And he said to her, Daughter, yyour faith has made you well; ygo in peace.

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

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

mAnd he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, nand he sent them out to oproclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. pAnd he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, qno staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.3 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town rshake off the dust from your feet sas a testimony tagainst them. uAnd they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

Herod Is Perplexed by Jesus

vNow wHerod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that xJohn had been raised from the dead, xby some that Elijah had appeared, and xby others that one of the prophets of old had risen. Herod said, John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things? And yhe sought to see him.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

10 On their return zthe apostles told him all that they had done. aAnd he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. 11 When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he bwelcomed them and cspoke to them of the kingdom of God and ccured those who had need of healing. 12 Now dthe day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, eSend the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place. 13 But he said to them, fYou give them something to eat. They said, We have no more than gfive loaves and two fishunless we are to go and buy food for all these people. 14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each. 15 And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, hhe looked up to heaven and isaid a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
