38 And the man from whom the demons had departed pleaded with him, so that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 'Return to your house and explain to them what great things God has done for you.' And he traveled through the entire city, preaching about the great things that Jesus had done for him.
40 Now it happened that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him. For they were all waiting for him.
41 And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, asking him to enter into his house.
42 For he had an only daughter, nearly twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened that, as he was going there, he was hemmed in by the crowd.
