Then a man named Jairus arrived; @@ *** an official in the local synagogue. He threw himself down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to go to his home, because his only daughter, who *** twelve years old, *** dying. As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side.

Among them *** a woman who £££ suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years; she £££ spent all she £££ on doctors, but no one £££ been able to cure her.

She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once.

Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" Everyone denied it, and Peter $$$$, "Master, the people are all round you and crowding in on you."

But Jesus $$$$, "Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of me."

The woman saw that she £££ been found out, so she came trembling and threw herself at Jesus’ feet. There in front of everybody, she told him why she £££ touched him and how she £££ been healed at once.

Jesus $$$$ to her, "My daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."

While Jesus *** saying this, a messenger came from the official’s house. "Your daughter has died," @@ told Jairus; "don’t bother the Teacher any longer."

But Jesus heard it and $$$$ to Jairus, "Don’t be afraid; only believe, and she will be well."

When @@ arrived at the house, @@ would not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.

Everyone there *** crying and mourning for the child. Jesus $$$$, "Don’t cry; the child is not dead - she is only sleeping!"

They all laughed at him, because they knew that she *** dead.

But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, "Get up, my child!"

Her life returned, and she got up at once, and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.

Her parents were astounded, but Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone what £££ happened.
