“Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer.” When Jesus heard this, he replied, “Do not fear. Only believe, and she will be saved.
Jarius, a leader in the synagogue, knelt down at Jesus’ feet and cried out for Jesus to save his 12-year-old daughter, who was on her death bed. Then another woman who had been bleeding for 12 years touched Jesus’ prayer shawl so that she could be healed. Jesus knew that power had gone out of him. Jesus wanted to know who touched him, so the woman fell down before Jesus and admitted that she had touched him. Jesus told her, “Your faith has made you well; go in peace.” In the meantime, the people surrounding Jarius’ daughter were weeping and wailing for her because they thought she was dead. When Jesus arrived and heard these cries, he told them “Do not fear. Only believe, and she will be saved.” They laughed at Jesus because they knew she was dead. Jesus then raised her back to life.
