36. Those who had seen it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37. Then the whole crowd from the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So He went into the boat and returned.
38. Now the man from whom the demons had departed asked Him if he could stay with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39. “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” So he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40. When Jesus returned, the crowd gladly received Him, for they were all waiting for Him.
41. Then a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell down at Jesus’ feet, and begged Him to come to his house,
42. for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.As He went, the people crowded Him.
43. And a woman having a hemorrhage for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, but could not be healed by anyone,
44. came behind Him, and touched the fringe of His garment. And immediately her hemorrhage dried up.
45. Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”When everyone denied it, Peter and those who were with Him said, “Master, the crowds are pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
46. But Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I perceive that power has gone out from Me.”
47. When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling. And falling down before Him, she declared to Him before all the people why she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
48. Then He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49. While He was still speaking, someone from the synagogue ruler’s house came, saying to Jairus, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher.”
