And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

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

And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
