* And it came to pass , that , when Jesus was returned , the people gladly received 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 besought him that he would come into his house : * For he had one only daughter , about twelve years of age , and she lay a dying . But as he went the people thronged him . * And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years , which had spent all her living upon physicians , neither could be healed of any , * Came behind him , and touched the border of his garment : and immediately her issue of blood stanched . * And Jesus said , Who touched me ? When all denied , Peter and they that were with him said , Master , the multitude throng thee and press thee , and sayest thou , Who touched me ? * And Jesus said , Somebody hath touched me : for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me . * And when the woman saw that she was not hid , she came trembling , and falling down before him , she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him , and how she was healed immediately . * And he said unto her , Daughter , be of good comfort : thy faith hath made thee whole ; go in peace . * While he yet spake , there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue 's house , saying to him , Thy daughter is dead ; trouble not the Master . * But when Jesus heard it , he answered him , saying , Fear not : believe only , and she shall be made whole . * And when he came into the house , he suffered no man to go in , save Peter , and James , and John , and the father and the mother of the maiden . * And all wept , and bewailed her : but he said , Weep not ; she is not dead , but sleepeth . * And they laughed him to scorn , knowing that she was dead . * And he put them all out , and took her by the hand , and called , saying , Maid , arise . * And her spirit came again , and she arose straightway : and he commanded to give her meat . * And her parents were astonished : but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done .
