^18 (A)While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and ^(B)knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” ¹⁹ And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.

²³ And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw ^(A)the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, ²⁴ he said, “Go away, for ^(B)the girl is not dead but ^(C)sleeping.” And they laughed at him. ²⁵ But ^(D)when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and ^(E)took her by the hand, and the girl arose. ²⁶ And the report of this went through all that district.

Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus's Daughter

²¹ And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. ^22 (A)Then came one of ^(B)the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet ²³ and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and ^(C)lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” ²⁴ And he went with him.

And a great crowd followed him and ^(D)thronged about him.

³⁵ While he was still speaking, there came from ^(A)the ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why ^(B)trouble ^(C)the Teacher any further?” ³⁶ But overhearing^[a] what they said, Jesus said to ^(D)the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” ³⁷ And he allowed no one to follow him except ^(E)Peter and James and ^(F)John the brother of James. ³⁸ They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus^[b] saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. ³⁹ And when he had entered, he said to them, ^(G)“Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but ^(H)sleeping.” ⁴⁰ And they laughed at him. But he ^(I)put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. ^41 (J)Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi”, which means, “Little girl, I say to you, ^(K)arise.” ⁴² And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. ⁴³ And ^(L)he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

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

As Jesus went, the people ^(D)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 to her to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed, but ^(M)he charged them to tell no one what had happened.
