21 Again Jesus crossed over in the boat to the other side. A great crowd gathered to him while he was by the sea.22 Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, saw Jesus and fell at his feet.23 He pleaded with him saying: »My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her that she will be healed and live.«24 Jesus went with him. A great crowd followed him and they pressed very close to him.25 There was a woman who had an issue of blood twelve years.26 She suffered treatment from many physicians but did not become better. She spent all her money and grew worse.27 Hearing about Jesus she came though the crowd and touched his garment.28 She said: »If I touch his garments I shall be made whole.«29 Immediately the flow of her blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.30 Suddenly Jesus recognized that power issued from him. He turned to the crowd and asked: »Who touched my garments?«31 His disciples said to him: »You see all these people around you and you ask who touched me?«32 He looked around to see the woman who had done this thing.33 The woman was afraid and trembled. Knowing what happened she fell down before him, and told him the truth.34 He said: »Daughter your faith has made you whole. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction.«35 While he yet spoke they came from the ruler of the synagogues house. They said: »Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher.«36 But Jesus did not listen. He said to the ruler of the synagogue believe and do not fear.37 He allowed only Peter, James, and John the brother of James to follow him.38 The house of the ruler of the synagogue was filled with commotion. Many were weeping and wailing.39 He entered and said: »Why all the commotion and why do you weep. The child is not dead but sleeps.«40 They laughed him to scorn. He sent them all out of the house. Then he took the father, mother and his companions and went to the child.41 He took the child by the hand and said to her: »Talitha cumi.« Which means when interpreted, »little girl I say to you arise.«42 Immediately the twelve-year old girl rose up and walked. And they were promptly amazed with a great amazement.43 He gave them firm orders not to tell any man about this. Then he commanded that she be given something to eat.
