37. And all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, because they had been seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
38. And the man from who the demons had gone out was begging him to stay with him, but he sent him away, saying,
39. “Return to your home and tell all that God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40. Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.
41. And behold, a man who was named Jairus came, and this man was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus and began imploring him to come to his house,
42. because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as he was going, the crowds were pressing against him.
43. And a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years (who, although she had spent all her assets on physicians, was not able to be healed by anyone)
44. came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her hemorrhaging stopped.
45. And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched me?” And when they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are pressing you hard and crowding you!”
46. But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, because I know power has gone out from me.”
47. And when the woman saw that she did not escape notice, she came trembling and falling down before him. In the presence of all the people, she told for what reason she had touched him, and that she was healed immediately.
48. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49. While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead! Trouble the Teacher no longer!”
50. But Jesus, when he heard this, replied to him, “Do not be afraid! Only believe, and she will be healed.”
51. Now when he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child.
52. And they were all weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep! For she is not dead, but is sleeping.”
53. And they began laughing at him, because they knew that she was dead.
