But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of me."
47
The woman saw that she had been found out, so she came trembling and threw herself at Jesus' feet. There in front of everybody, she told him why she had touched him and how she had been healed at once.
48
Jesus said to her, "My daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
49
While Jesus was saying this, a messenger came from the official's house. "Your daughter has died," he told Jairus; "don't bother the Teacher any longer."
50
But Jesus heard it and said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; only believe, and she will be well."
51
When he arrived at the house, he would not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother.
52
Everyone there was crying and mourning for the child. Jesus said, "Don't cry; the child is not dead - she is only sleeping!"
53
They all made fun of him, because they knew that she was dead.
54
But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, "Get up, child!"
55
Her life returned, and she got up at once, and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
56
Her parents were astounded, but Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone what had happened.
