And, Jesus crossing over in the boat again unto the other side, there was gathered a large multitude unto him, and he was by the lake.

And there cometh one of the synagogue-rulers, by name Jairus, and, seeing him, falleth at his feet,

and beseecheth him much, saying - My little daughter is at her last! - that, coming, thou wouldest lay thy hands upon her, that she may be made well, and live;

and he departed with him. And there was following him a large multitude, and they were pressing upon him.

And, a woman, who had had a flow of blood twelve years,

and suffered much from many physicians, and spent all her means, and profited, nothing, - but had, rather, become worse,

hearing the things about Jesus, came in the crowd from behind, and touched his mantle;

for she was saying - If I can touch so much as his mantle, I shall be made well;

and, straightway, the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she knew, in her body, that she was healed from the plague.

And, straightway, Jesus, taking note in himself of the power which, out of him, went forth, turning round in the crowd, was saying - Who hath touched my garments?

and his disciples were saying to him - Thou seest the crowd pressing upon thee, - and sayest thou - Who hath touched me?

and he was looking round to see her who, this thing had done.

And, the woman, overcome with fear, and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

And, he, said to her - Daughter! thy faith hath made thee well; withdraw into peace, and be whole from thy plague.

While yet he is speaking, they come from the synagogue-ruler's, saying - Thy daughter, is dead! Why, further, annoy the teacher?

But, Jesus, overhearing the word being spoken, saith unto the synagogue-ruler - Do not fear, only have faith!

And he suffered no one to follow with him, save Peter and James and John the brother of James.

And they come into the house of the synagogue-ruler, and he observeth a tumult, and persons weeping and wailing greatly;

and, entering, he saith unto them - Why are ye making a tumult, and weeping? The child, is, not dead, but, is sleeping;

and they were deriding him. But, he, thrusting all forth, taketh with him the father of the child, and the mother, and them who were with him, - and entereth where the child was;

and, grasping the hand of the child, he saith unto her - Talitha, koum! which is, when translated - O damsel! to thee, I say, Arise!

And, straightway, the damsel arose, and was walking about; for she was twelve years of age. And they were beside themselves, straightway, with a great transport;

and he commanded them, again and again, that, no one, should get to know this thing, - and bade that food should be given her to eat.
