Biblical account of Jairus and the healing of a daughter

The Gospel of Luke (8:41-56) recounts the story of Jairus, a synagogue leader, who approached Jesus to request help for his twelve-year-old daughter who was dying. During the journey to his home, Jesus was interrupted by a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years and was healed after touching his garment.

While Jesus was speaking, news arrived that Jairus's daughter had died. Jesus instructed Jairus not to fear but to believe. Upon entering the house, Jesus took the girl by the hand and commanded her to rise, resulting in her immediate return to life. The account emphasizes themes of faith and divine response to human suffering.
