21And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd assembled upon him, and he was beside the sea.22One of the synagogue leaders named Jairus came, and when he saw him he collapsed at his feet.23He pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is extremely ill; come and lay your hands on her so that she may be saved and live."24So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and pressed against him.25And a woman who had been subject to a discharge of blood for twelve years26had suffered much under many physicians and had spent all she had, yet instead of improving she grew worse.27When she heard about Jesus she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothing.28She had been saying, "If I touch even his clothing I will be saved."29Immediately her flow of blood dried up, and she knew in her body that she was healed from her affliction.30At once Jesus realized in himself that power had gone out from him; he turned in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothing?"31His disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing against you, and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'"32And he kept looking around to see the one who had done this.33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came trembling with fear, fell at his feet, and told him the whole truth.34He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace and be healthy from your affliction."35While he was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue leader and said, "Your daughter is dead; why trouble the teacher any longer?"36Ignoring the word being spoken, Jesus said to the synagogue leader, "Do not be afraid; only believe."37And he allowed no one to accompany him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.38And they came to the house of the synagogue leader, and he saw a commotion and people weeping and wailing loudly.39And when he had entered he said to them, "Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeps."40And they laughed at him. But after he had put them all out he took the child's father and mother and those with him and went in where the child was.41And taking the child's hand he said to her, "Talitha koum," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."42And immediately the girl arose and began to walk around, for she was twelve years old; and they were immediately astonished with great amazement.43And he gave them strict orders that no one should know this, and he told them to give her something to eat.
