(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. CHAP. IX. THEN calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. (2)And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. (3)And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs, nor satchel, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats each. (4)And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence go out. (5)And whosoever shall not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them. (6)And they went forth, and passed through the villages, preaching the gospel, and performing cures everywhere.
