Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, ran up to Jesus and fell down at his feet. “Hurry, you’ve got to come. My daughter is dying.”
 
Surrounded by the multitudes, the lady with the blood issue slowed them down, but Jesus didn’t seem to be in a hurry. Then bad news came. The girl had already died. That didn’t stop Jesus. “Be not afraid; only believe,” He told the man, and then he asked Peter, James, and John to go with them to the man’s house.
 
They arrived during the funeral, neighbors and friends weeping and wailing in the house. “She’s not dead, but sleeping,” Jesus said. Their wails turned to laughter. These people didn’t understand who they were dealing with. Swooshing them outside, Jesus went to the twelve-year-old girl’s bed, took her hand, and said, “Arise.” She did. Then Jesus told them to feed her.
 
All things are possible. Only believe.
