And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him.  And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, “Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he had mercy on thee.”

And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him:  and all men marvelled.

THE DYING CHILD AND THE SUFFERING WOMAN.

And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him; and he was by the sea.

And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he falleth at his feet, and beseecheth him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death:  I pray thee, that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live.”

And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched the border of his garment.  For she said, “If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole.”  And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.

And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, “Who touched my garments?”

And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, “Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee, and sayest thou, ’Who touched me?’”

But Jesus said, “Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.”

And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.  And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

And he said unto her, “Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.”

While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, “Thy daughter is dead:  why troublest thou the Teacher any further?”

But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, “Fear not:  only believe, and she shall be made whole.”

And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.  And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly, he said, “Give place:  why make ye a tumult and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth.”
