The Daughter Of Jairus & The Woman With Haemophilia
20. While he was talking with them, behold, one of the community leaders came and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her so she will live.
21. And Jmmanuel stood up and his disciples followed him.
22. And behold, a woman who had haemophilia for twelve years stepped up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment.
23. She spoke to herself, "if only I could touch his garment, I would be cured."
24. Then Jmmanuel turned around and saw her, and he said, "Be comforted, your faith has helped you,” and the woman was well from that hour on.
25. When he came into the community leader's house and saw the pipers and the turmoil of the people, he spoke,
26. "Depart, because the maiden is not dead but is asleep." And they laughed at him.
27. But after the people were driven out, he entered and took her by the hand and spoke, "l order you to get up and walk!"
28. And the maiden stood up and walked, and soon the news of this spread through that entire land.
