A Woman Healed And A Daughter Raised
21 When Jesus had crossed over again in a boat to the other side [i.e., to the northwest shore of the lake, probably in the vicinity of Capernaum], a large crowd gathered around Him along the shore of the lake. 22 About then a man named Jairus, one of the officials of the synagogue, came to Jesus and, upon seeing Him, fell to the ground at His feet. 23 He begged Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is about to die; [please] come and place your hands on her so she may be healed and live."
