Elijah Raises the Widow’s Son

17 After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. 18 And she said to Elijah, ^y“What have you against me, O ^zman of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance and to cause the death of my son!” 19 And he said to her, “Give me your son.” And he took him from her arms and carried him up into the upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his own bed. 20 And he cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?” 21 ^aThen he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this child’s life¹ come into him again.” 22 And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and ^bhe revived. 23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives.” 24 And the woman said to Elijah, ^c“Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.”

Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus’s Daughter

21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. 22 ^hThen came one of ⁱthe rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet 23 and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and ^jlay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” 24 And he went with him.

And a great crowd followed him and ^kthronged about him. 25 And there was a woman ^lwho had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 ^mAnd immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her ⁿdisease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that ^opower had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, ^pyour faith has made you well; ^pgo in peace, and be healed of your ⁿdisease.”

35 While he was still speaking, there came from ^qthe ruler’s house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why ^rtrouble ^sthe Teacher any further?” 36 But overhearing¹ what they said, Jesus said to ^qthe ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” 37 And he allowed no one to follow him except ^tPeter and James and ^uJohn the brother of James. 38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus² saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he had entered, he said to them, ^v“Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but ^wsleeping.” 40 And they laughed at him. But he ^xput them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. 41 ^yTaking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, ^zarise.” 42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43 And ^ahe strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
