* So it was , when Jesus returned , that the multitude welcomed Him , for they were all waiting for Him . * And behold , there came a man named Jairus , and he was a ruler of the synagogue . And he fell down at Jesus ' feet and begged Him to come to his house , * for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age , and she was dying . But as He went , the multitudes thronged Him . * Now a woman , having a flow of blood for twelve years , who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any , * came from behind and touched the border of His garment . And immediately her flow of blood stopped . * And Jesus said , "Who touched Me ?" When all denied it , Peter and those with him said , "Master , the multitudes throng and press You , and You say , "Who touched Me ?"' * But Jesus said , "Somebody touched Me , for I perceived power going out from Me ." * Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden , she came trembling ; and falling down before Him , she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately . * And He said to her , "Daughter , be of good cheer ; your faith has made you well . Go in peace ." * While He was still speaking , someone came from the ruler of the synagogue 's house , saying to him , "Your daughter is dead . Do not trouble the Teacher ." * But when Jesus heard it , He answered him , saying , "Do not be afraid ; only believe , and she will be made well ." * When He came into the house , He permitted no one to go in except Peter , James , and John , and the father and mother of the girl . * Now all wept and mourned for her ; but He said , "Do not weep ; she is not dead , but sleeping ." * And they ridiculed Him , knowing that she was dead . * But He put them all outside , took her by the hand and called , saying , "Little girl , arise ." * Then her spirit returned , and she arose immediately . And He commanded that she be given something to eat . * And her parents were astonished , but He charged them to tell no one what had happened .
