* Jesus , at his return , was welcomed by the crowd , who were all waiting for him . * Meantime , a man named Jairus , came , a ruler of the synagogue , who , throwing himself at the feet of Jesus , besought him to come into his house ; * for he had an only daughter , about twelve years old , who was dying . As Jesus went along , the people crowded him ; * and a woman , who had been twelve years afflicted with an issue of blood , and had consumed all her living upon physicians , none of whom could cure her , * coming behind , touched the tuft of his mantle ; upon which her issue was stopped . * Then Jesus said , When every body denied it , Peter , and those with him , answered , Master , the multitude throng and press you , and do you say , * Jesus replied , * Then the woman perceiving that she was discovered , came trembling , and having thrown herself prostrate , declared to him , before all the people , why she had touched him , and how she had been immediately healed : * and he said to her , * While he was yet speaking , one came from the house of the director of the synagogue , who said , your daughter is dead ; trouble not the Teacher . * Jesus , hearing this , said to Jairus , * Being come to the house , he allowed no person to enter with him , except Peter , and John , and James , and the maid 's father and mother . * And all wept , and lamented her . But he said , * And they derided him , knowing that she was dead . * But he , having made them all retire , took her by the hand , and called , saying , * And her spirit returned , and she arose immediately , and he commanded to give her food . * And her parents were astonished , but he charged them not to mention to any person what had happened .
