See them side by side

Luke 8:40-56

40Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. 41And look, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue; and falling at Jesus’ feet, he begged him to come into his house, 42because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as he went, the crowds were crushing him. 43And a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on doctors and could not be healed by anyone, 44came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, and immediately her flow of blood stopped. 45And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched me?” And when all were denying it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing against you.” 46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceived that power had gone out from me.” 47And when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared in the presence of all the people for what reason she had touched him, and how she had been healed immediately. 48And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.” 49He was still speaking when someone comes from the synagogue leader’s house, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher any longer.” 50But Jesus, hearing this, answered him, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.” 51And when he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to go in with him except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother. 52And all were weeping and beating their breasts for her. But he said, “Do not weep; for she has not died, but is sleeping.” 53And they were laughing at him, knowing that she had died. 54But he, taking her hand, called out, saying, “Girl, get up.” 55And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and he directed that something be given her to eat. 56And her parents were astonished; but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.

Matthew 9:18-26

18While he was saying these things to them, look, a ruler came and was bowing down before him, saying, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19And Jesus got up and was following him, and so did his disciples. 20And look, a woman who had been suffering from bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak; 21for she was saying to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will get well.” 22Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, “Take courage, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour. 23And Jesus, coming into the ruler’s house and seeing the flute players and the crowd in an uproar, 24said, “Go away, for the girl has not died, but is sleeping.” And they were laughing at him. 25But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took hold of her hand, and the girl got up. 26And this report went out into all that land.

Mark 5:21-43

21And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was beside the sea. 22And one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, comes, and seeing him, falls at his feet 23and begs him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” 24And he went away with him. And a large crowd was following him and pressing in on him. 25And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26and who had suffered much under many doctors, and had spent all that she had, and had not been helped at all, but rather had grown worse, 27having heard about Jesus, came in the crowd from behind and touched his cloak; 28for she was saying, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29And at once the source of her bleeding dried up, and she knew in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30And at once Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and was saying, “Who touched my garments?” 31And his disciples were saying to him, “You see the crowd pressing in on you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32And he was looking around to see the woman who had done this. 33But the woman, afraid and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” 35While he was still speaking, people come from the synagogue leader’s house, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher any further?” 36But Jesus, ignoring the word being spoken, says to the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” 37And he did not let anyone follow along with him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. 38And they come to the house of the synagogue leader, and he sees a commotion, and people weeping and wailing loudly. 39And going in, he says to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child has not died, but is sleeping.” 40And they were laughing at him. But he, having put them all out, takes along the child’s father and mother and those with him, and goes in where the child was. 41And taking the child’s hand, he says to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.” 42And at once the girl got up and was walking; for she was twelve years old. And at once they were overcome with great amazement. 43And he gave them strict orders that no one should know this, and he told them to give her something to eat.
