Luke 8:42

Parents and childrenSickness and healing

40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41 Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43 including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
