*
Now when Jesus returned ,
the crowd welcomed him ,
for they were all waiting for him .
*
And behold ,
there came a man named Jairus ,
who was a ruler of the synagogue ;
and he fell 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 .
*
And a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years and could not be healed by anyone ,
*
came up behind him ,
and touched the fringe of his garment ;
and immediately her flow of blood stopped .
*
And Jesus said , »
Who touched me ?«
When all denied it ,
Peter said , »
Master ,
the multitudes surround you and press upon you !«
*
But Jesus said , »
Someone touched me ;
for I know that power has gone out from me .«
*
When the woman saw that she was not hidden ,
she came trembling ,
and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him ,
and how she had been immediately healed .
*
And he said to her , »
Daughter ,
your faith has made you well ;
go in peace .«
*
While he was still speaking ,
someone came from the ruler of the synagogue '
s house and said , »
Your daughter is dead ;
do not trouble the Teacher any more .«
*
But Jesus on hearing this answered him , »
Do not be afraid ;
only believe ,
and she will be well .«
*
When he came into the house he permitted no one to go in with him except Peter ,
James ,
and John ,
and the father and mother of the girl .
*
Now all were wailing and mourning for her ;
but he said , »
Do not weep ;
she is not dead ,
but sleeping .«
*
And they laughed at him ,
knowing that she was dead .
*
But he took her by the hand and called ,
saying , »
Child ,
arise .«
*
Then her spirit returned ,
and she got up at once .
And he directed that something should be given her to eat .
*
And her parents were astonished ,
but he charged them to tell no one what had happened .
