一﹑本週經文Scripture：路加福音8:40-44 Luke
40耶穌回來的時候，眾人迎接他，因為他們都等候他。41有一個管會堂的，名叫睚魯，來俯伏在耶穌腳前，求耶穌到他家裡去；42因他有一個獨生女兒，約有十二歲，快要死了。耶穌去的時候，眾人擁擠他。43有一個女人，患了十二年的血漏，在醫生手裡花盡了他一切養生的，並沒有一人能醫好他。44他來到耶穌背後，摸他的衣裳繸子，血漏立刻就止住了。
40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
