40And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, that the multitude received him; for they were all waiting for him. 41And, behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him that he would come into his house; 42for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went the multitudes thronged him.
43And a woman having a flow of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any one, 44came up behind, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased. 45And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou: Who is it that touched me? 46And Jesus said: Some one touched me; for I perceived that power has gone out from me.
47And the woman, seeing that she was not concealed, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared before all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole; go in peace.
49While he was yet speaking, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher. 50But Jesus hearing it, answered him: Fear not; only believe, and she shall be restored.
51And entering into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him, save Peter and James and John, and the father of the maiden, and the mother. 52And all were weeping and bewailing her. And he said: Weep not; she is not dead, but is sleeping. 53And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54And he, taking hold of her by the hand, called, saying: Maiden, arise. 55And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose; and he commanded that food should be given her. 56And her parents were astonished. But he charged them to tell no one what was done.
IX. And having called the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases. 2And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 3And he said to them: Take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece. 4And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart. 5And whoever will not receive you, when ye go out from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6And going forth, they went through the villages, publishing the good news, and healing everywhere.
7And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done. And he was perplexed, because it was said by some: John has risen from the dead; 8and by some: Elijah has appeared; and by others: One of the old prophets has risen again. 9And Herod said: John I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10And the apostles, returning, related to him all that they did. And taking them with him, he retired privately to a city called Bethsaida. 11And the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him. And receiving them, he spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
12And the day began to decline. And the twelve came, and said to him: Dismiss the multitude, that they may go into the villages around, and the fields, and lodge, and find food; for here we are in a desert place. 13And he said to them: Do ye give them to eat. And they said: We have not more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people. 14For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them lie down in companies of fifty. 15And they did so, and made them all lie down. 16And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17And they ate, and were all filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
