When Jesus returned the crowd welcomed him .
They were all waiting for him .
*
Jairus ,
a ruler of the synagogue came to Jesus .
He fell down at Jesus
feet and implored him to come to his house .
*
His twelve-year old daughter was dying .
She was his only daughter .
As he went the crowds surrounded him .
*
There was a woman having an issue of blood twelve years .
She spent all her money on physicians ,
and could not be healed by any .
*
She came behind him and touched the border of his garment .
Immediately the issue of blood stopped .
*
Jesus said : »
Who touched me ?«
Peter and the others with him said : »
Master ,
the people press in from all sides .«
*
Jesus said : »
Someone did touch me .
I perceived that power went from me .«
*
When the woman knew she was discovered she trembled ,
fell down before him and declared in the presence of all the people why she touched him ,
and how she was healed immediately .
*
He said to her : »
Daughter ,
your faith has made you whole ;
go in peace .«
*
While he yet spoke someone came from the ruler of the synagogue
s house saying : »
Your daughter is dead do not trouble the teacher .«
*
When Jesus heard this he said : »
Do not fear ,
only believe and she will be made whole .«
*
When he arrived at the house he allowed only the mother and father of the girl ,
Peter ,
John and James to enter with him .
*
They were all weeping and morning her .
He said : »
Do not weep for she is not dead ,
but sleeps .«
*
They laughed him to scorn knowing that she was dead .
*
He took her hand and called : »
Maiden ,
arise .«
*
Her life force returned and she rose up immediately .
He commanded that something be given her to eat .
*
Her parents were amazed .
He charged them to tell no man what had been done .
