Then a man came whose name was Jairus. This man was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell at the feet of Jesus and begged him to come to his house because his daughter who was an only child and about twelve years of age was dying. Now as he went the crowds pressed upon him. As it happened, there was a woman who had had a flow of blood (menstrating) for twelve years. Nobody had been able to heal her. Approaching (Jesus) from behind she touched the fringe of his garment. At once the flow of blood was stopped. Jesus said "Who is the one touching me?" When all denied it Peter said. "Master the crowds are pressing upon you and jostling." But Jesus said "Someone touched me for I felt power going out of me." And seeing that she was found out, the woman came forward trembling. She prostrated before him and declared before everyone why she had touched him and how she had been cured at once. He said to her "Daughter your faith has healed you. "Go in peace."
