Now, when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him back, for they were all expecting him.

And lo! there came a man, whose name was Jairus, and, the same, was, a ruler of the synagogue, - and, falling down near the feet of Jesus, he began beseeching him to enter into his house;

because he had, an only-begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and, she, was dying. Now, as he withdrew, the multitudes, were hemming him in.

And, a woman, with a flow of blood of twelve years standing, who indeed could, from no one, be cured,

coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle; and, instantly, was stayed the flow of her blood.

And Jesus said - Who, is it that touched me? And, when all were denying, Peter said - Master! the multitudes, are hemming thee in, and pressing along.

But, Jesus, said - Some one touched me, for, I, took note of power, gone out from me.

And, the woman seeing that she had not escaped notice, trembling, came, and, falling down before him, reported before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed instantly!

And, he, said to her - Daughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into peace.

While yet he is speaking, there cometh one from the synagogue ruler's, saying - Thy daughter, is dead: No further, be troubling the teacher.

But, Jesus, hearing, answered him - Do not fear! Only believe, and she shall be saved.

And, when he came into the house, he suffered no one to enter with him, save Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl, and the mother.

And they were all weeping, and beating themselves, for her. And he said - Be not weeping; for she died not, but is sleeping.

And they were deriding him, knowing that she died.

But, he, grasping her hand, called aloud, saying - O girl! arise!

And her spirit returned, and she rose up instantly, and he ordered that something should be given her to eat.

And her parents were beside themselves. But, he, charged them to tell, no one, what had happened.
