30 A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.

⁵ For -- a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

⁷ but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace ye may abound;

⁸ not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness,

⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor -- being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

¹⁰ and an opinion in this do I give: for this to you [is] expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin before -- a year ago,

¹¹ and now also finish doing [it], that even as [there is] the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which ye have,

¹² for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he hath not;

¹³ for not that for others release, and ye pressured, [do I speak,]

¹⁴ but by equality, at the present time your abundance -- for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality,

¹⁵ according as it hath been written, `He who [did gather] much, had nothing over; and he who [did gather] little, had no lack.'

²¹ And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,

²² and lo, there doth come one of the chiefs of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and having seen him, he doth fall at his feet,

²³ and he was calling upon him much, saying -- `My little daughter is at the last extremity -- that having come, thou mayest lay on her [thy] hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;'

²⁴ and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,

²⁵ and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years,

²⁶ and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,

²⁷ having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment,

²⁸ for she said -- `If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;'

²⁹ and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague.

³⁰ And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, `Who did touch my garments?'

³¹ and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!'

³² And he was looking round to see her who did this,

³³ and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,

³⁴ and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'

³⁵ As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's [house, certain], saying -- `Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?'

³⁶ And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.'

³⁷ And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;

³⁸ and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing;

³⁹ and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;

⁴⁰ and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

⁴¹ and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.'

⁴² And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years [old]; and they were amazed with a great amazement,

⁴³ and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.
