Jesus Heals a Dead Girl (Jairus' Daughter)

Jairus, a synagogue leader, fell at Jesus' feet, begging him to come to his house because his twelve-year-old daughter was dying. While Jesus was on the way, people came from Jairus' house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Don't bother the teacher anymore." Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe." When they arrived, Jesus took the girl's hand and said, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!") Immediately, she stood up and walked around. Even when hope seems lost, Jesus brings life.
