¹¹ And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.

¹² And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.

¹³ Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.

¹⁴ And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.

¹⁵ And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

¹⁶ And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.

¹⁷ And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the country round about.

⁴¹ And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his house:

⁴² For he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened as he went, that he was thronged by the multitudes.

⁴⁹ As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead, trouble him not.

⁵⁰ And Jesus hearing this word, answered the father of the maid: Fear not; believe only, and she shall be safe.

⁵¹ And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden.

⁵² And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not; the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁵³ And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

⁵⁴ But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise.

⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he bid them give her to eat.

⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished, whom he charged to tell no man what was done.
