Have you ever been so desperate that you just didn't know what to do? Meet Jairus, a very worried father.
(Crowd sounds)
Jairus:
Excuse me, Sir. Jesus, please help me. I need your help for my daughter.
Jesus:
Who are you?
Jairus:
My name is Jairus. I am a synagogue ruler. I have only one daughter, and she is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and will live. Please come, Jesus.
Jesus:
All right, I will come with you.
Jairus:
Thank you. Come, I will show you the way.
(Crowd noises)
Narrator:
But Jairus's daughter wasn't the only one who needed healing.
Woman:
That's Him. That's Jesus in the crowd of people. I have been bleeding for twelve long miserable years. I have spent all of my money, and no doctor has been able to heal me. Perhaps if I just quietly touch His robe, Jesus will be able to heal me. I will try.
(Crowd sounds)
Woman:
Oh, oh my. I can feel it. The bleeding has stopped. I am healed!
Jesus:
Wait, who just touched me?
Disciples:
Who touched you? Jesus, you see the people crowding against you. How can you ask, 'Who touched me?'
Jesus:
I want to know who touched me.
Narrator:
Jesus kept looking around at the crowd. He waited to see who had touched Him. Then the woman came forward and fell at His feet.
Woman:
I am so afraid, but I will tell you the truth. I touched your robe because I was so sick and no one could heal me. I thought that if I touched your robe, your power would heal me.
Jesus:
Dear woman, your faith has healed you. Go in peace. You are free from your suffering.
(Crowd noise)
Servants:
Excuse us, we are looking for Jairus.
Jairus:
Here I am.
Servants:
Sir, your daughter has died. Why bother Jesus anymore?
Jesus:
Do not listen to them. Don't be afraid, Jairus, just believe. We will go to your house.
(Sounds of crying)
Jesus:
Why are you all sobbing? The child is not dead. She is only sleeping.
(Sounds of laughing, crying, disbelief)
Jesus:
Everyone must go outside. Only the child's mother and father will come with me.
Narrator:
Then Jesus, the girl's parents, and several of the disciples went into the dead girl's room. Jesus took the girl's hand.
Jesus:
Little girl, I say to you, get up!
Narrator:
Right away the girl stood up and walked around. Everyone was amazed.
Jesus:
Give her something to eat! And don't tell anyone what happened here today.
(Music transition)
Narrator:
Jesus used his power to heal people. Absolutely nothing is too hard for Jesus to heal.
