A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

21 When Jesus had again crossed over in the boat to the other side of the sea, a large crowd was gathered around him, and he was by the sea. 22 [fn]And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, whose name was Jairus. When he saw Jesus, he fell down at his feet 23 and begged him earnestly, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay yoʋr hands on her so that she may be [fn]healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him.

25 Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under many physicians and had spent all she had, yet received no benefit from it, but had only grown worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she [fn]said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her flow of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she had been healed from her affliction. 30 Jesus immediately perceived in himself that power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 His disciples said to him, “Yoʋ see the crowd pressing in on yoʋ, and yet yoʋ say, ‘Who touched me?’ ” 32 But he kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Now the woman was frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, so she came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 Then Jesus said to her, “Daughter, yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. Go in peace, and be healed of yoʋr affliction.”

35 While he was still speaking, some people came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said, “Yoʋr daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any further?” 36 But when Jesus [fn]heard what they said, he immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” 37 From that point he did not allow anyone to accompany him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 When [fn]he came to the ruler of the synagogue's house, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 Then he went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” 40 And they began laughing at him. But he put them all outside, took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was [fn]lying down. 41 Then he took hold of the child's hand and said to her, “Talitha [fn]koumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to yoʋ, arise.” 42 Immediately the girl got up and began to walk (for she was twelve years old), and they were [fn]overcome with great amazement. 43 Then he gave them strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and he told them to give her something to eat.
