And having done a pass-over again;
that’s in the boat, and ..to the other side,
well Jesus, a great crowd gathers to him,
and he is by the sea when they arrive.
Here comes one of the rulers of the syn-
agogue, named Jairus, who then having seen
him, falls down at his feet, & then begins
imploring greatly, and he is saying:
“My little daughter’s at her very end.
Please would you come and lay your hands on her,
so that she might be cured, be a friend.
And she will live, of that I am quite sure.
So he went with him, and was followed by
a great crowd which was pressing in on him.
Some woman with a flow of blood inside
for twelve long years, greatly suff’ring whims
of doctors, having spent all that she had,
and benefiting nothing, but grew worse,
when having heard of Jesus, in the crowd
came up behind and touched his clothes1. Rehearse:
She would be cursed by any Jew back then.
For she'd have made him unclean by that touch.
The law said she's unclean; and clothing when
worn by a man, extended him that much.
Her own self-talk was that "If I can touch
his clothing even, then I'll be made whole.
And straight away her blood flow dried that much
that she knew in her body (& her soul
that life was back on track,) that she was healed
and freed from this affliction. But about
then, straight-away, this Jesus having feel-ed
or known within himself, pow'r flowing out,
has turned within the crowd and said, “Who touched
my clothing?” His disciples were saying
“You see the crowd is pressing very much
and in on you, how can you say this thing:-
- “Who touched me?” But still he was looking ‘round
to see the person who had done this thing.
So then the woman scared and trembling sound-
ly, knowing what had happened to her, flings
herself down there before him, tells him all
the truth of things, the story as it was.
Then he says to her (best as they recalled;
“My) daughter, it’s your faith that’s healed you ‘coz
I didn’t do a thing, you did it all.
Now I release you. Go in peace, you’re found!
Be blessed by me and certainly be whole,
may this affliction never way you down!
While he’s still speaking, now, some people come
from ruler of the synagogue's abode,
& say "Your daughter's dead, .." and then say some-
thing like .."Don't let yourself become a load.."
"..unto this busy teacher man. Pull out!"
He's lucky that that daughter of young Jes-
us modelled how to live like love's about.
To help him not to cave in, - 'case he freez-
-is; Jesus having heard this spoken word
says to the leader of the synagogue,
"No fe-ar, only trust!" Don't do "the bird".
And he allowed no-one to follow, jog
along with him, except Peter, and James..
unto the house of ruler 'v synagogue
(..& with the brother of James, John) he came
and he beholds commotion and what not,
with weeping and great wailing - a fune'ral,
and having entered in he says to them
"Why this commotioning & weeping? Well,
the child is not dead, but asleep." So then
they started laughing at him (they were wild).
But he throws them all out, and takes with him
the father and the mother of the child,
and his companions, and they go on in
to where the chi'ld was. And holding the
hand of the chi'ld, then he says to her:
"Talitha koum", which is to say "Girl-y,
I say to you, arise, get up, be stirred."
And straightaway the girly was raised up,
arose, and walked about, for she was aged
twelve years. And straightaway they're overcome -
pure ecstasy, enormously amazed!
And he instructed strictly (greatly) them,
that no-one should know anything of this,
he said to them to give her some food then.
I wonder what she ate - that little Miss?
