The Daughter of Jairus
18As he was saying these things to them, there was a ruler who came, bowed down to him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come, place your hand on her, and she will live.”
19Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples. 20Just then, a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years came up from behind and touched the fringe of his garment. 21For she had been saying to herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be healed.”
22When Jesus turned around and saw her, he said, “Take heart, daughter! Your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.
23When Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd, 24he said to them, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but is sleeping.”
But they laughed at him.
25When the crowd was sent out of the house, Jesus went in, took the girl by the hand, and she was raised. 26News of this went out through the entire region.
