22 (A)And one of (B)the synagogue [a]officials, named Jairus, *came, and upon seeing Him, *fell at His feet 23 and *pleaded with Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and (C)lay Your hands on her, so that she will [b]get well and live.” 24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but instead had become worse— 27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His [c]cloak. 28 For she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch His garments, I will [d]get well.” 29 And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her (D)disease. 30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that (E)power from Him had gone out, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?” 31 And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” 32 And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, (F)your faith has [e]made you well; (G)go in peace and be cured of your (H)disease.”

35 While He was still speaking, people *came from the house of the (I)synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher further?” 36 But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, *said to the (J)synagogue official, (K)Do not be afraid, only [f]believe.” 37 And He allowed no one to accompany Him except (L)Peter, [g]James, and John the brother of [h]James. 38 They *came to the house of the (M)synagogue official, and He *saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. 39 And after entering, He *said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child has not died, but is asleep.” 40 And they began laughing at Him. But putting them all outside, He *took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and *entered the room where the child was in bed. 41 And taking the child by the hand, He *said to her, “Talitha, kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, (N)I say to you, get up!”). 42 And immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astonished. 43 And He (O)gave them strict orders that no one was to know about this, and He told them to have something given her to eat.

41 (A)And a man named Jairus came, and he was an [a](B)official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet, and began urging Him to come to his house; 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him.

43 And a woman who had suffered a chronic flow of blood for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, 44 came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His [b]cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “(C)Master, the [c]people are crowding and pressing in on You.” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that (D)power had left Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and admitted in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48 And He said to her, “Daughter, (E)your faith has [d]made you well; (F)go in peace.”

49 While He was still speaking, someone *came from the house of (G)the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.” 50 But when Jesus heard this, He responded to him, (H)Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be [e]made well.” 51 When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him except Peter, John, and James, and the girl’s father and mother. 52 Now they were all weeping and (I)mourning for her; but He said, “Stop weeping, for she has not died, but (J)is asleep.” 53 And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died. 54 He, however, took her by the hand and spoke [f]forcefully, saying, “Child, arise!” 55 And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He ordered that something be given her to eat. 56 Her parents were amazed; but He (K)instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
