"Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

And there came a man named Ja'irus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at Jesus' feet he besought him to come to his house,
42
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As he went, the people pressed round him.
43
And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and could not be healed by any one,
44
came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased.
45
And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!"
46
But Jesus said, "Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me."
47
And 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.
48
And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."

While he was still speaking, a man from the ruler's house came and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more."
