A Woman Healed and a Daughter Raised

²¹ And after^[a] Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to him, and he was beside the sea. ²² And one of the rulers of the synagogue came—Jairus by name—and when he^[b] saw him, he fell down at his feet. ²³ And he was imploring him many times, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death!^[c] Come, lay your^[d] hands on her, so that she will get well and will live.” ²⁴ And he went with him, and a large crowd was following him and pressing around him.

²⁵ And there was a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages^[e] twelve years. ²⁶ And she had endured many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had^[f] and had received no help at all, but instead became worse.^{[g] 27} When she^[h] heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind him and^[i] touched his cloak, ²⁸ for she was saying, “If I touch just his clothing, I will be healed!” ²⁹ And immediately her hemorrhage stopped^[j] and she realized in her^[k] body that she was healed of her^[l] suffering. ³⁰ And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from himself, turned around in the crowd and^[m] said, “Who touched my clothing?” ³¹ And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say ‘Who touched me?’” ³² And he was looking around to see the one who had done this. ³³ So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. ³⁴ But he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering.”

³⁵ While^[n] he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler’s house^[o] saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?” ³⁶ But Jesus, ignoring^[p] what was said,^[q] told the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid—only believe!” ³⁷ And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James. ³⁸ And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and people weeping and wailing loudly. ³⁹ And when he^[r] entered, he said to them, “Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.” ⁴⁰ And they began laughing^[s] at him. But he sent them all out and^[t] took along the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was. ⁴¹ And taking hold of the child’s hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”), ⁴² and immediately the girl stood up and began walking around^[u] (for she was twelve years old). And immediately they were utterly and completely astonished.^{[v] 43} And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her something^[w] to eat.
