Fille, Despiration, Peur & Salut

Luc 8:40-56

Par Dr Jonathan Pennington

Our Scripture this morning comes from Luc 8:40-56. If you’re able, would you please stand for the reading of God’s Word?

Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

“Who touched me?” Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”

But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”

Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed.

Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”

Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother. Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her.

“Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”

N bɛ se ka tumen o kɛrɛw o ye Deuteronomi. Israɛl bɛ o kɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ, o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ—o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ, ka tɔɔrɔ, ka tɔɔrɔ, ani ka tɔɔrɔ. Ani Mose ka tumen Deuteronomi 8:

[BVR 082] Ka tumen o kɛrɛw o ye o yɛrɛ na Allah ka ɣasaya o kɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ, k’a tɔɔrɔ ma o kɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ... Ani o ka tɔɔrɔ o kɛrɛw la, o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ, o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ... K’a tɔɔrɔ ma o kɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ, k’a tɔɔrɔ ma o kɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ, k’a tɔɔrɔ ma o kɛrɛw la.

O ye o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ ye o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ.

O ye o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ ye o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ.

O ye o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ ye o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ.

Henry David Thoreau ka tumen, “An ka tumen o kɛrɛw o ye o yɛrɛ, an ka tumen o kɛrɛw o ye o yɛrɛ.” O ka tumen: o ka tumen o kɛrɛw o ye o yɛrɛ ye o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ, o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ. Ani ka tɔɔrɔ o kɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ, o bɛrɛw la ka tɔɔrɔ.
