The Jairus daughter's healing is described in which two gospels?

• A. Luke and John
• B. Mark and Luke
• C. Matthew and Mark
• D. Matthew and Luke

Answer: (B)

The event shows Jesus’ authority over life and death and the interplay of faith in two Gospel accounts that present the same sequence with the interwoven story of the woman who had a bleeding issue. In the accounts found in Mark and Luke, Jairus, a synagogue ruler, pleads with Jesus to come heal his dying daughter; along the way, a woman with a long-standing hemorrhage touches Jesus’ cloak and is healed. When people announce that the daughter has died, Jesus encourages faith, goes to the house, and raises her to life. Matthew also contains a parallel version of this miracle, but the question pointing to two Gospels is most accurately answered by Mark and Luke, which share the connected narrative in their parallel accounts.
