When Jesus and his disciples landed at Capernaum, after their sail across the lake, they found a crowd of people on the shore waiting for them. And a man came forward from the throng and fell down at the feet of Jesus. He was one of the chief men in the synagogue, and his name was Jairus. He said, "Oh Master, come to my house at once! My little daughter is dying, but if you will come and lay your hands upon her, she will live." And Jesus went with Jairus, and his disciples followed him, and also many people, who thronged around Jesus. Jairus, the father of the dying child, walked beside Jesus in great trouble, for he feared that his child would die before Jesus could come to his house. And at that moment some one came to him and said, "It is too late. Your daughter is dead. You need not trouble the Master any more." But Jesus said to him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will yet be saved to you." Soon they came to the house where Jairus lived, and they could hear the people weeping and crying aloud. Jesus said to them, "Why do you make such a noise? The little girl is not dead, but only asleep." Jesus meant by this that we need not be filled with sorrow when our friends die, for death is only a sleep for a time until God shall awake them. But they did not understand this, and they would not be comforted, for they knew that the child was dead. Jesus would not allow any of the crowd of people to go into the room where the dead child was. He took with him three of his disciples, Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the child, and shut out all the rest of the people. On a couch was lying the dead body of a girl, twelve years old. Taking the hand of the child into his own, he said to her, "Little girl, rise up!" And the life of the little girl came again. She opened her eyes, and sat up. Jesus told them to give her something to eat, and he said to them, "Do not tell any one how the little girl was brought to life." Already the crowds following him were so great that he could not teach the people in the city, and if it became known that he could raise the dead to life, the throng and the press of the multitudes would be greater. His great work was to teach and to bring life to the souls of men, rather than to heal, or to raise the dead. Navigation and Searching – Terms of Use |
