401And as Jesusreturned, the peoplewelcomed Him, for they had allbeenwaiting for Him.
41
2And there came a mannamedJairus, and he was an 3official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus'feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house;
42
for he had an onlydaughter, abouttwelveyears old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressingagainst Him.
43
And a woman who had a hemorrhage* for twelveyears, and could not be healed by anyone,
44
came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage*stopped.
45
And Jesussaid, "Who is the one who touched Me?" And while they were alldenying it, Petersaid, "4Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You."
46
But Jesussaid, "Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that 5power had gone out of Me."
47
When the womansaw that she had not escapednotice, she cametrembling and felldownbefore Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reasonwhy* she had touched Him, and how she had been immediatelyhealed.
48
And He said to her, "Daughter, 6your faith has made you well; 7go in peace."
49
While He was stillspeaking, someonecame from the house of 8the synagogueofficial, saying, "Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacheranymore."
50
But when Jesusheard this, He answered him, "9Do not be afraid any longer; onlybelieve, and she will be madewell."
51
When He came to the house, He did not allowanyone to enter with Him, exceptPeter and John and James, and the girl'sfather and mother.
52
Now they were allweeping and 10lamenting for her; but He said, "Stopweeping, for she has not died, but 11is asleep."
53
And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died.
54
He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Child, arise!"
55
And her spiritreturned, and she got up immediately; and He gaveorders for something to be given her to eat.
56
Her parents were amazed; but He 12instructed them to tellnoone what had happened.
