Jesus went back to the boat. The man who had been possessed by the
devils asked to go with Him. But Jesus sent him away. He said, Return
to thine own house and show the great things God has done for thee.
The man went his way and told the whole city the great things Jesus
had done.
It came to pass that Jesus returned and the people gladly received
Him. They were all waiting for Him. There came a man named Jairus. He
was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and besought
Him to come to his house. His only daughter, about twelve years of
age, lay dying. As Jesus started out, the people thronged Him.
A woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years and who had spent
all her living on physicians who were unable to heal her, came up
behind Him, and touched the border of His garment. Immediately her
issue of blood ceased. Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied,
Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and
press thee, and you ask, Who touched me? Jesus said, Somebody has
touched me for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
When the woman felt she could not hide, she came trembling and,
falling down before Him, she declared to Him before all the people why
she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately. Jesus said to
her, Daughter, be of good comfort. Thy faith has made thee whole. Go
in peace.
While He yet spoke, there came a messenger from the ruler of the
synagogue's house. He said, Thy daughter is dead. Do not trouble the
Master. But when Jesus heard it, He said, Fear not. Only believe and
she shall be made whole.
When He got to the house, He allowed no one to go in, except Peter,
James, John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. All wept but
He said, Weep not. She is not dead, but sleeps. Those gathered outside
laughed Him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. He put them all out,
and took her by the hand, and said, Maid, arise.
Her spirit returned and she arose straightway. Then He told them to
give her food. Her parents were astonished, but He charged them that
they tell no one what was done.
9 Then He called His twelve disciples together, and gave them
power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. He sent them
to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. Jesus said to
them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, nor
bread, nor money; neither take two coats.
Whatever house ye enter, abide and depart from there. Whoever will not
receive you, when ye leave that city, shake off the very dust from
your feet as a testimony against them. They departed and went through
the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
