(21)And when Jesus had passed over again in the vessel to the other side, a vast multitude came together unto him; and he was by the sea side. (22)And, behold, there cometh to him one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and seeing him, fell at his feet, (23)and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live. (24)And he went with him: and there followed him a great crowd, and they thronged him. (25)And a certain woman, having a flux of blood twelve years, (26)and had suffered much from many physicians; and had expended all she had, and was nothing better, but rather growing worse and worse; (27)when she heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment: (28)for she said, If I but touch his clothes, I shall recover. (29)And instantly the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her afflictive disease. (30)And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that miraculous power had gone forth from him, turning about in the crowd, said, Who touched my garments? (31)And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? (32)And he looked round to see her who had done this. (33)Then the woman, fearful and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. (34)And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be whole from thy distressing disease. (35)And while he was yet speaking, they came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the master any further? (36)But Jesus, instantly hearing the account given, said to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. (37)And he permitted no person to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John a brother of James. (38)And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the confusion, as they were greatly lamenting and making loud moanings. (39)And entering in he saith, Why make ye this uproar, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. (40)And they derided him; but he thrusting them all out, took the father and the mother of the maiden, and those who were with him, and went in where the damsel was laid out. (41)And taking the hand of the damsel, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi! which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise! (42)And immediately the damsel arose and walked about, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with vast astonishment. (43)And he very strongly charged them that no person should know it; and ordered something to be given her to eat. CHAP. VI.
