40While Jesus was returning, the crowd received him, for they were all looking for him.41And look, a man came whose name was Jairus, and this man was already a ruler of the synagogue; and having collapsed beside the feet of Jesus, he was pleading with him to enter his house.42For his only daughter, about twelve years of age, was dying; and while he was going, the crowds were choking him.43And a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, was not able to be healed by anyone.44She came near from behind and touched the edge of his clothing, and instantly the discharge of her blood stopped.45And Jesus said, 'Who is the one who touched me?' While all were denying it, Peter said, 'Master, the crowds are holding you and crowding up to you.'46But Jesus said, 'Someone touched me, for I knew that power had gone out from me.'47When the woman saw that she had not been hidden, she came trembling and fell before him; and because of the reason for which she had touched him, she announced it before all the people, and how she had been healed instantly.48Then he said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace.'49While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader saying that his daughter had died; do not trouble the teacher any longer.50But Jesus, having heard, answered him, 'Do not fear; only trust, and she will be saved.'51When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father of the child and the mother.52Now all were weeping and mourning her, but he said, 'Do not weep, for she has not died but sleeps.'53And they were mocking him, knowing that she had died.54But he grasped her hand and called, saying, 'Child, arise.'55And her spirit returned, and she arose instantly; and he directed that something be given her to eat.56And her parents were amazed, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
