him to be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, (39)Return to thy
house, and declare what things God hath done for thee. And he went
away, and published through the whole city what things Jesus had done
for him.

(40)And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, the people welcomed him,
for they were all waiting for him. (41)And, behold, there came a man
whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling
at the feet of Jesus, he entreated him to come to his house; (42)for he
had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying: and as
he was going, the multitude thronged him. (43)And a woman, who had a
flux of blood, for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on
physicians, and could not get a cure from any; (44)coming behind him,
touched the fringe of his garment; and instantly the flux of her blood
stopped. (45)And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied,
Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng
and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me? (46)Then said
Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is
gone out from me. (47)Then the woman seeing she was not hid, came
trembling, and falling down before him, declared to him before all the
people, for what cause she had touched him; and how she was cured
instantaneously. (48)Then he said unto her, Be of good cheer, daughter,
thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.

(49)And while he was yet speaking, a person came to the ruler of the
synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead, give the master no
further trouble. (50)Then Jesus hearing it, addressed him, saying, Fear
not, only believe, and she shall be saved. (51)And entering into the
house, he suffered no person to come in, but Peter, and James, and
John, and the father and mother of the child. (52)Now all were weeping
and lamenting her: and he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but asleep.
(53)And they derided him, for they knew that she was dead. (54)And he
put them all without, and taking her by the hand, cried, saying, Maid,
arise! (55)And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose; and he
commanded to give her something to eat. (56)And her parents were struck
with amazement. But he enjoined them to tell no man what was done.
