And when Iesus was passed ouer againe by ship vnto the other side, much people gathered vnto him, and he was nigh vnto the Sea.

And behold, there commeth one of the Rulers of the Synagogue, Iairus by name, and when he saw him, he fell at his feete,

And besought him greatly, saying, My litle daughter lieth at the point of death, I pray thee come and lay thy hands on her, that shee may be healed, and she shall liue.

And Iesus went with him, and much people followed him, and thronged him.

And a certaine woman which had an issue of blood twelue yeeres,

And had suffered many things of many Physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

When shee had heard of Iesus, came in the prease behinde, and touched his garment.

For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shalbe whole.

And straightway the fountaine of her blood was dried vp: and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

And Iesus immediatly knowing in himselfe that vertue had gone out of him, turned him about in the preasse, and said, Who touched my clothes?

And his disciples said vnto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell downe before him, and tolde him all the trueth.

And he said vnto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole, goe in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

While hee yet spake, there came from the Ruler of the Synagogues house, certaine which said, Thy daughter is dead, why troublest thou the Master any further?

Assoone as Iesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith vnto the Ruler of the Synagogue, Be not afraid, onely beleeue.

And he suffered no man to follow him, saue Peter, & Iames, and Iohn the brother of Iames.

And hee commeth to the house of the Ruler of the Synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

And when he was come in, hee saith vnto them, Why make yee this adoe, and weepe? the damosell is not dead, but sleepeth.

And they laughed him to scorne: but when he had put them all out, hee taketh the father and the mother of the damosell, and them that were with him, and entreth in where the damosell was lying.

And he tooke the damosell by the hand, and said vnto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damosell (I say vnto thee) Arise.

And straightway the damosell arose, and walked, for shee was of the age of twelue yeeres: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.

And hee charged them straitly, that no man should know it: and commanded that some thing should be giuen her to eate.
