⁴¹A man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, arrived and quickly bowed down in front of Jesus. He begged Jesus to come to his home. ⁴²His only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went, the people were crowding around him.

⁴³A woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years was in the crowd. No one could cure her. ⁴⁴She came up behind Jesus, touched the edge of his clothes, and her bleeding stopped at once.

⁴⁵Jesus asked, “Who touched me?”

After everyone denied touching him, Peter said, “Teacher, the people are crowding you and pressing against you.”

⁴⁶Jesus said, “Someone touched me. I know power has gone out of me.”

⁴⁷The woman saw that she couldn’t hide. Trembling, she quickly bowed in front of him. There, in front of all the people, she told why she touched him and how she was cured at once.

⁴⁸Jesus told her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace!”

⁴⁹While Jesus was still speaking to her, someone came from the synagogue leader’s home. He said, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”

⁵⁰When Jesus heard this, he told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid! Just believe, and she will get well.”

⁵¹Jesus went into the house. He allowed no one to go with him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s parents. ⁵²Everyone was crying and showing how sad they were. Jesus said, “Don’t cry! She’s not dead. She’s just sleeping.”

⁵³They laughed at him because they knew she was dead. ⁵⁴But Jesus took her hand and called out, “Child, get up!” ⁵⁵She came back to life and got up at once. He ordered her parents to give her something to eat. ⁵⁶They were amazed. Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
