Luke 8 · Grade 4

Power Over Storms and Sickness

Name Date

Read and Think

Jesus traveled from town to town with the twelve and some women who supported Him. He told a parable about a sower. The seed is the word of God. Seed on the path is like people whose hearts let the devil snatch the word away. Seed on rock is like people who fall away when trouble comes. Seed among thorns is choked by worries and riches. But seed in good soil is like people who keep the word and patiently bear fruit.

Next, Jesus showed His power. He calmed a fierce storm with a word. On the other side of the lake, He freed a man troubled by many evil spirits. The man sat at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind.

When Jesus returned, two people needed Him. A woman who had been ill for twelve years touched His cloak and was healed. Jesus called her daughter and praised her faith. Meanwhile, Jairus learned his twelve-year-old daughter had died. Jesus told him to believe. He took the girl's hand, and she rose up.
