“I was a ruler of the synagogue, and my little daughter lay at the point of death. I fell at Jesus' feet and begged him to come and lay his hands on her. On the way he stopped for a woman in the crowd, and messengers came to tell me my daughter was dead. Jesus heard and said to me, "Be not afraid, only believe." At my house people were weeping and wailing, and they laughed at him when he said she was sleeping. He took her by the hand and said, "Talitha cumi," which means, Damsel, arise. She got up and walked. She was twelve years old. When the news is bad, hold on to his words: only believe.”
Jairus · Mark 5:22-43
