A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed

²¹ When^(A) Jesus had crossed over again by boat^[a] to the other side, a large crowd^(B) gathered around him while he was by the sea. ²² One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus,^(C) came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet^{(D) 23} and begged him earnestly, “My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on^(E) her so that she can get well^[b](F) and live.” ²⁴ So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against him.

²⁵ Now a woman suffering from bleeding^(G) for twelve years ²⁶ had endured^(H) much under many doctors.^(I) She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. ²⁷ Having heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched^(J) his clothing.^{(K) 28} For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I’ll be made well.”^{(L) 29} Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was healed^(M) of her affliction.

³⁰ Immediately Jesus realized that power^(N) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd^(O) and said, “Who touched my clothes?”^(P)

³¹ His disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing against you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”

³² But he was looking around to see who had done this. ³³ The woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down^(Q) before him, and told him the whole truth.^{(R) 34} “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith^(S) has saved you.^(T) Go in peace and be healed^(U) from your affliction.”^(V)

³⁵ While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the teacher^(W) anymore?”

³⁶ When Jesus overheard^[c] what was said, he told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid.^(X) Only believe.” ³⁷ He did not let anyone accompany him except Peter,^(Y) James,^(Z) and John,^(AA) James’s brother. ³⁸ They came to the leader’s house, and he saw a commotion—people weeping and wailing loudly. ³⁹ He went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping?^(AB) The child^(AC) is not dead but asleep.”^{(AD) 40} They laughed at him, but he put them all outside. He took the child’s father,^(AE) mother, and those who were with him, and entered the place where the child was. ⁴¹ Then he took the child^(AF) by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum”^[d] (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up”^(AG)). ⁴² Immediately the girl got up^(AH) and began to walk.^(AI) (She was twelve years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.^{(AJ) 43} Then he gave them strict orders that no one should know about this^(AK) and told them to give her something to eat.

Rejection at Nazareth

6 He^(A) left there and came to his hometown,^(B) and his disciples^(C) followed him. ² When the Sabbath^(D) came, he began to teach^(E) in the synagogue,^(F) and many who heard him were astonished. “Where did this man get these things?” they said. “What is this wisdom^(G) that has been given to him, and how are these miracles^(H) performed by his hands? ³ Isn’t this the carpenter,^(I) the son of Mary,^(J) and the brother of James,^(K) Joses, Judas,^(L) and Simon? And aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended^(M) by him.

⁴ Jesus said to them, “A prophet^(N) is not without honor^(O) except in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his household.” ⁵ He was not able to do a miracle^(P) there, except that he laid his hands on^(Q) a few sick^(R) people and healed^(S) them. ⁶ And he was amazed^(T) at their unbelief.^(U) He was going around the villages teaching.^(V)
