"And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he say Him [Jesus], he fell at His feet, And besought Him greatly, saying My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
And Jesus went with him. . . ."
Mark 5:22-24
Jesus started walking with Jairus toward his house.
About that time, a woman with an issue of blood came up behind Him in the crowd and touched the hem of His garment.
Jesus turned and asked who had touched Him.
The woman fell down before Him and told Him how she had been healed.
All this was going on while Jairus' daughter was at home dying.
When Jesus finished with the woman, they started again to Jairus' house.
But then someone came running and told them that it was too late and that his daughter was dead.
Immediately Jesus turned to Jairus and told him not to fear, but believe only; here he laid out a choice before Jairus, either fear or believe.
If he kept believing, his child would be healed.
But if he feared, he shut off Jesus' power.
Jairus chose to believe and his little girl was raised from the dead.
His faith loosed God to work in his daughter's life.
