Contextual Overview
40When Jesus returned, a big crowd was waiting on him.
41A local church leader named Jairus came up and bowed down in front of Jesus. He begged Jesus to come to his home.
42His twelve-year-old daughter was dying. Jesus left with him at once and was followed by a lot of folks.
43In the crowd following Jesus was a woman who'd been bleeding for nearly twelve years and no one had been able to help her.
44She came up behind Jesus and touched his vest. Immediately her bleeding stopped.
45Jesus turned and asked, "Who touched me?"Everyone turned around all innocent like and then Pete said, "Boss, there's a bunch of people. Maybe someone accidentally bumped ya."
46But Jesus replied, "I felt the healing power leave me. Someone touched me on purpose."
47The woman was real scared now and she trembled as she took a knee before Jesus. She then explained why she had touched his vest and how she had immediately been cured.
48Jesus smiled kindly at her and said, "Daughter, your faith in me has healed you. Go in peace!"
49While Jesus was still talking to her, someone came running up from the church leader's home and told Jairus, "Your daughter is dead. No need to bring Jesus anymore."

Ver. 52 And all wept and bewailed her,.... Not only her relations and friends, and the servants of the house, but the mourning women, that were hired on this occasion, and employed for this purpose:
but he said, weep not; neither in show, as the mourning women did, nor in reality, as the friends of the deceased:
she is not dead, but sleepeth;
