37. The entire population of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them because they were seized with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned.
38. The man from whom the demons had come out begged to remain with him, but he sent him away, saying,
39. “Return home and recount what God has done for you.” The man went off and proclaimed throughout the whole town what Jesus had done for him.
40. When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41. And a man named Jairus, an official of the synagogue, came forward. He fell at the feet of Jesus and begged him to come to his house,
42. because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he went, the crowds almost crushed him.
43. And a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years, who [had spent her whole livelihood on doctors and] was unable to be cured by anyone,
44. came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. Immediately her bleeding stopped.
45. Jesus then asked, “Who touched me?” While all were denying it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are pushing and pressing in upon you.”
46. But Jesus said, “Someone has touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me.”
47. When the woman realized that she had not escaped notice, she came forward trembling. Falling down before him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
48. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
49. While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer.”
