Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman


21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of
the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the
lake. 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came,
and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded
earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and
put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” 24 So
Jesus went with him.


A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was
there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26 She
had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had
spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the
crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just
touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding
stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her
suffering.


30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He
turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”


31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples
answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”


32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then
the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his
feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He
said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace
and be freed from your suffering.”


35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the
house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,”
they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”


36 Overhearing[a] what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be
afraid; just believe.”


37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John
the brother of James. 38 When they came to the home of the
synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and
wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this
commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” 40 But
they laughed at him.


After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother
and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child
was. 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!”
(which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). 42
Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was
twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
