*
And it came to pass when Jesus returned ,
that the multitude welcomed him ;
for they were all waiting for him .
*
And lo !
there came a man ,
named Jairus ,
and he was a ruler of the synagogue ;
and falling at the feet of Jesus ,
he besought him to come into his house ;
*
for he had an only daughter ,
about twelve years of age ,
and she was dying .
And as he went ,
the multitudes thronged him .
*
And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years ,
and had spent all her living upon physicians ,
and could not be cured by any one ,
*
came up behind and touched the fringe of his garment ;
and immediately her issue of blood ceased .
*
And Jesus said ,
Who touched me ?
And when all denied it ,
Peter and those with him said ,
Master ,
the multitudes are thronging thee ,
and pressing against thee .
*
But Jesus said ,
Some one touched me ;
for I perceived that power went out from me .
*
And the woman ,
seeing that she was discovered ,
came trembling ,
and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him ,
and how she was cured immediately .
*
And he said to her ,
Daughter ,
thy faith hath made thee well ;
go in peace .
*
While he was yet speaking ,
there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue ,
saying ,
Thy daughter is dead ;
trouble not the Teacher any further .
*
But Jesus hearing this ,
answered him ,
Fear not ;
only believe ,
and she will be made well .
*
And going into the house ,
he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James ,
and the father of the maiden ,
and the mother .
*
And all were weeping ,
and lamenting for her .
But he said ,
Weep not ;
she is not dead ,
but sleeping .
*
And they laughed him to scorn ,
knowing that she was dead .
*
But he took hold of her hand ,
and called aloud ,
saying ,
Maiden ,
arise !
*
And her spirit returned ,
and she immediately arose .
And he ordered food to be given to her .
*
And her parents were amazed .
But he charged them to tell no one what had been done .
