^{41 Ref} Then there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler in the Synagogue: and he went down at the feet of Jesus, desiring him to come to his house;

^{42 Ref} For he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was near to death. But while he was on his way, the people were pushing to be near him.

^{43 Ref} And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had given all her money to medical men, and not one of them was able to make her well,

^{44 Ref} Came after him and put her hand on the edge of his robe, and straight away the flowing of her blood was stopped.

^{45 Ref} And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side.

^{46 Ref} But Jesus said, Someone was touching me, for I had the feeling that power had gone out from me.

^{47 Ref} And when the woman saw that she was not able to keep it secret, she came, shaking with fear, and falling down before him she made clear before all the people the reason for her touching him, and how she was made well straight away.

^{48 Ref} And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.

^{49 Ref} While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master.

^{50 Ref} But Jesus at these words said to him, Have no fear, only have faith, and she will be made well.

^{51 Ref} And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.

^{52 Ref} And all the people were weeping and crying for her; but he said, Do not be sad, for she is not dead, but sleeping.

^{53 Ref} And they were laughing at him, being certain that she was dead.

^{54 Ref} But he, taking her hand, said to her, My child, get up.

^{55 Ref} And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her.

^{56 Ref} And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.
