When Jesus had crossed again
in the boat to the other
side, a large crowd gathered
around him, and he stayed
close to the sea. One of the
synagogue officials, named
Jairus, came forward. Seeing
him he fell at his feet and
pleaded earnestly with him,
saying, "My daughter is at
the point of death. Please,
come lay your hands on her
that she may get well and
live."
He went off
with him, and a large crowd
followed him and pressed
upon him. While he was still
speaking, people from the
synagogue official's house
arrived and said, "Your
daughter has died; why
trouble the teacher any
longer".
Disregarding the
message that was reported,
Jesus said to the synagogue
official, "Do not be afraid;
just have faith." He did not
allow anyone to accompany
him inside except Peter,
James, and John, the brother
of James.
When they
arrived at the house of the
synagogue official, he
caught sight of a commotion,
people weeping and wailing
loudly. So he went in and
said to them, "Why this
commotion and weeping? The
child is not dead but
asleep." And they ridiculed
him.
Then he put them
all out. He took along the
child's father and mother
and those who were with him
and entered the room where
the child was. He took the
child by the hand and said
to her, "Talitha koum,"
which means, "Little girl, I
say to you, arise!"
The girl, a child of twelve,
arose immediately and walked
around.
