Then a man named Jairus came. He was a synagogue leader. He fell at Jesus’ feet and begged Jesus to come to his house.His only daughter was dying. She was about 12 years old. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him.A woman was there who had a sickness that made her bleed. Her sickness had lasted for 12 years. No one could heal her.She came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his clothes. Right away her bleeding stopped.“ Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everyone said they didn’t do it. Then Peter said,“ Master, the people are crowding and pushing against you.”But Jesus said,“ Someone touched me. I know that power has gone out from me.”The woman realized that people would notice her. Shaking with fear, she came and fell at his feet. In front of everyone, she told why she had touched him. She also told how she had been healed in an instant.Then he said to her,“ Dear woman, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus. Jairus was the synagogue leader.“ Your daughter is dead,” the messenger said.“ Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus,“ Don’t be afraid. Just believe. She will be healed.”When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let everyone go in with him. He took only Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother.During this time, all the people were crying and sobbing loudly over the child.“ Stop crying!” Jesus said.“ She is not dead. She is sleeping.”They laughed at him. They knew she was dead.But he took her by the hand and said,“ My child, get up!”Her spirit returned, and right away she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.Her parents were amazed. But Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

Then a man named Jairus came. He was a synagogue leader. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.He begged Jesus,“ Please come. My little daughter is dying. Place your hands on her to heal her. Then she will live.”So Jesus went with him. A large group of people followed. They crowded around him.A woman was there who had a sickness that made her bleed. It had lasted for 12 years.She had suffered a great deal, even though she had gone to many doctors. She had spent all the money she had. But she was getting worse, not better.Then she heard about Jesus. She came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.She thought,“ I just need to touch his clothes. Then I will be healed.”Right away her bleeding stopped. She felt in her body that her suffering was over.At once Jesus knew that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd. He asked,“ Who touched my clothes?”“ You see the people,” his disciples answered.“ They are crowding against you. And you still ask,‘ Who touched me?’ ”But Jesus kept looking around. He wanted to see who had touched him.Then the woman came and fell at his feet. She knew what had happened to her. She was shaking with fear. But she told him the whole truth.He said to her,“ Dear woman, your faith has healed you. Go in peace. You are free from your suffering.”While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus. He was the synagogue leader.“ Your daughter is dead,” they said.“ Why bother the teacher anymore?”Jesus heard what they were saying. He told the synagogue leader,“ Don’t be afraid. Just believe.”He let only Peter, James, and John, the brother of James, follow him.They came to the home of the synagogue leader. There Jesus saw a lot of confusion. People were crying and sobbing loudly.He went inside. Then he said to them,“ Why all this confusion and sobbing? The child is not dead. She is only sleeping.”But they laughed at him. He made them all go outside. He took only the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him. And he went in where the child was.He took her by the hand. Then he said to her,“ Talitha koum!” This means,“ Little girl, I say to you, get up!”The girl was 12 years old. Right away she stood up and began to walk around. They were totally amazed at this.Jesus gave strict orders not to let anyone know what had happened. And he told them to give her something to eat.
