Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus's Daughter

⁴⁰ Now when Jesus returned, the crowd ^(A)welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. ^41 (B)And there came a man named Jairus, who was ^(C)a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus' feet, he implored him to come to his house, ⁴² for he had ^(D)an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.

As Jesus went, the people ^(E)pressed around him.

⁴⁹ While he was still speaking, someone from ^(A)the ruler's house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; ^(B)do not trouble ^(C)the Teacher any more.” ⁵⁰ But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” ⁵¹ And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except ^(D)Peter and ^(E)John and James, and the father and mother of the child. ⁵² And all were weeping and ^(F)mourning for her, but he ^(G)said, “Do not weep, for ^(H)she is not dead but ^(I)sleeping.” ⁵³ And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ But ^(J)taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, ^(K)arise.” ⁵⁵ And ^(L)her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed, but ^(M)he charged them to tell no one what had happened.
