Luke 8:49

Death and lossGrief

47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

48 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

50 But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51 When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.
