40And as Jesus was returning, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him. 41And a man named Jairus came, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet, and began urging Him to come to his house; for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as He went, the crowds were pressing against Him. 43And a woman who had suffered a chronic flow of blood for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, 44came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
