And behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house,

While he was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more."

But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they watched him.

Now a certain ruler asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
