Neville Goddard on Luke 8:40-42 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 8 in context

Scripture Focus

40And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

41And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

42For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

Luke 8:40-42

Biblical Context

Jesus returns and is welcomed as the crowd awaits him; Jairus, a synagogue ruler, pleads for healing for his dying daughter, while the people press around.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, the returning Jesus is the I AM awakening within you. The glad reception of the crowd is the mind’s readiness, a state that has awaited the awareness of its own light. Jairus stands as your ardent longing for wholeness, kneeling at the feet of the inner Christ and inviting it to enter the room of your self-conception. The dying daughter is not a girl in a house but a belief of limitation near death; it represents an old narrative you are ready to revise. As the multitude presses in—the outer conditions of doubt and distraction—your inner movement presses forward, carrying the healer into the heart's inner house. The presence of God comes not to heal from afar but to reside where you truly live, and healing is the shift of a state of consciousness from fear to faith. The miracle is the moment you receive the I AM as present, and let your old story expire. Reception precedes the deed; awareness enters, and life returns.

Practice This Now

Assume the scene in your mind's eye—welcome the inner Jesus as if you are Jairus awaiting healing; see the room of your heart opening to life and feel the truth of wholeness now.
