The life of Christ

Jairus's daughter is raised

AD 31Inferred from Scripture

Mark 5:21–43; Luke 8:40–56; Matthew 9:18–26

Jairus, a synagogue leader, begged Jesus to heal his dying twelve-year-old daughter. On the way, a woman who had suffered bleeding for twelve years was healed by touching his clothes. Then word came that the girl had died.

Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”

Mark 5:41 (World English Bible)

Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid, only believe” (Mark 5:36). Taking Peter, James, and John and the girl's parents into her room, he took her hand and spoke to her in Aramaic, and she got up and walked.
