Jairus's Daughter and the Woman with a Hemorrhage
June 27, 2027
Overview & Insights
"Do not fear, only believe." (Mark 5:36)
Two healings are woven together: a woman who had suffered a flow of blood for twelve years is made well by touching Jesus, and a synagogue leader's dead daughter is raised. In both, reaching out in faith to Jesus meets his power over sickness and death.
