A ruler of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came and fell at the feet of
Jesus and said: My daughter is at the point of death, come and lay Thy
hands on her that she may live! And Jesus went with him. But some came
from the house of the ruler of the synagogue and said: Why troublest
thou the Master any further? Thy daughter is dead. Jesus said to the
father: Fear not, only believe, and she will be saved. When He came in,
He beheld a tumult, and many weeping. But He said: Weep not! And He took
the father and the mother, and Peter, James and John, and went in where
the little girl lay and said: Little girl, arise! And straightway she
arose and walked. (Mark 5:22-42.)
