Luke 8:42

Verse 42 of 56. The 8th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

38But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

39“Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

40When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

41Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,

42for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.

43A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,

44came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.

45Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”

46But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
