Luke 8:40-42

40 On his return, Jesus was welcomed by a crowd. They were all there expecting him.
41 A man came up, Jairus by name. He was president of the meeting place. He fell at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his home
42 because his twelve-year-old daughter, his only child, was dying. Jesus went with him, making his way through the pushing, jostling crowd.
