Luke 8:40-42

International Children’s Bible

Jesus Gives Life to a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman

⁴⁰ When Jesus got back to the other side of the lake, a crowd welcomed him. Everyone was waiting for him. ⁴¹ A man named Jairus came to Jesus. Jairus was a ruler of the synagogue. He bowed down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come to his house. ⁴² Jairus had only one daughter. She was 12 years old, and she was dying.

While Jesus was on his way to Jairus’ house, the people were crowding all around him.
