Bible Verses About Jairus

When Yeshua arrived at the official's house and saw the flute-players, and the crowd in an uproar,

he said, "Everybody out! The girl isn't dead, she's only sleeping!" And they jeered at him.

But after the people had been put outside, he entered and took hold of the girl's hand, and she got up.

News of this spread through all that region.

There came to him a synagogue official, Ya'ir by name, who fell at his feet

and pleaded desperately with him, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please! Come and lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and live!"

He went with him; and a large crowd followed, pressing all around him.

Among them was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years

and had suffered a great deal under many physicians. She had spent her life savings; yet instead of improving, she had grown worse.

She had heard about Yeshua, so she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his robe;

for she said, "If I touch even his clothes, I will be healed."

Instantly the hemorrhaging stopped, and she felt in her body that she had been healed from the disease.

At the same time, Yeshua, aware that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

His talmidim responded, "You see the people pressing in on you; and still you ask, `Who touched me?'"

But he kept looking around to see who had done it.

The woman, frightened and trembling, because she knew what had happened to her, came and fell down in front of him and told him the whole truth.

"Daughter," he said to her, "your trust has healed you. Go in peace, and be healed of your disease."

While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official's house came, saying, "Your daughter has died. Why bother the rabbi any longer?"

Ignoring what they had said, Yeshua told the synagogue official, "Don't be afraid, just keep trusting."

He let no one follow him except Kefa, Ya`akov and Yochanan, Ya`akov's brother.

When they came to the synagogue official's house, he found a great commotion, with people weeping and wailing loudly.

On entering, he said to them, "Why all this commotion and weeping? The child isn't dead, she's just asleep!"

And they jeered at him. But he put them all outside, took the child's father and mother and those with him, and went in where the child was.

Taking her by the hand, he said to her, "Talita, kumi!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!").

At once the girl got up and began walking around; she was twelve years old. Everybody was utterly amazed.
