A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1 ¶ I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; thou gavest me life from my descent into the grave.
4 Let his merciful ones sing unto the LORD, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endures but a moment; in his will is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 ¶ And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I will cry unto thee, O GOD; and unto the Lord will I make supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O LORD and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness;
12 to the end that I may sing glory unto thee and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
7 ¶ Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith and in word and in knowledge and in all diligence and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
8 I speak not as commanding, but by occasion of the diligence of others and to prove the sincerity of your charity.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor that ye through his poverty might be enriched.
10 And in this I give my advice, for this is expedient for you, who began not only to do, but also to be diligent a year ago.
11 Now therefore finish the doing of it that as there was a readiness to will, so there may also be a performance out of that which ye have.
12 For if there is first a willing desire, it is accepted according to what a person has and not according to what they do not have.
13 For I mean not that others be eased and ye burdened,
14 but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want that their abundance also may be a supply for your want, that there may be equality:
15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack.
21 ¶ And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, a great multitude gathered unto him, and he was near the sea.
22 And one of the princes of the synagogue came, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet
23 and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death; come and lay thy hands on her that she may be saved, and she shall live.
24 And Jesus went with him; and a great multitude followed him and thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years
26 and had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse;
27 when she had heard of Jesus, came from behind among the multitude and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be saved.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned to the crowd and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith has made thee saved; go in peace and remain whole of thy plague.
35 ¶ While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said unto the prince of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And they came to the house of the prince of the synagogue and saw the tumult and those that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come in, he said unto them, Why make ye this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleeps.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the damsel and those that were with him and entered in where the damsel was lying.
41 And taking the damsel by the hand, he said unto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And he charged them straitly that no one should know it and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
