Who touched me...who touched my clothes?
NARRATOR.
When everyone denied it, Peter and his companions said:
PETER/COMPANIONS:
Master, you see how the crowds are hemming you in and crushing you. How can you say, 'Who touched me?'
JESUS.
Somebody has touched me, because I felt that power had gone out from me.
NARRATOR.
Jesus continued to look around in order to see who had done it. The woman was frightened and was trembling because she knew what
had happened in her and saw that she had not escaped notice. Trembling, she came forward and falling down before Jesus and in front
of all the people, told him the whole truth and explained the reason she had touched him and how she was immediately healed. Jesus
turned back and seeing her said:
JESUS.
Daughter, have courage, your faith has made you whole. Go in peace and be free of your disease.
NARRATOR.
From that hour, the woman was healed. While he was speaking, some people from Jairus' house arrived and coming up to Jairus said
to him:
PEOPLE.
Your daughter is dead! Why trouble the Master any further.
NARRATOR.
But when Jesus heard what had been said, he answered him and said:
JESUS.
Don't be afraid, only have faith and she will be made whole.
NARRATOR.
Permitting no one except Peter, James and John, the brother of James to follow him, he came to Jairus' house. Going in and seeing all
the commotion; the flute-players, people in unrestrained wailing, weeping and mourning for her, he said to them:
JESUS.
Why all the commotion and weeping. Leave and don't weep, for the little girl isn't dead, but sleeping.
NARRATOR.
They laughed at him and ridiculed him because they knew she was dead. When Jesus had put them all out, he took the father and
mother of the little girl and his own companions into the place where the little girl was. He took her by the hand and calling, said to
her:
JESUS.
Tal-i-tha-cu-mi (Talitha Kum)
NARRATOR.
Which in Aramaic means; 'Little child, I tell you to get up. Her spirit returned and she immediately got up and walked, for she was
twelve years old. Jesus then told them to give her something to eat. Her parents were overcome with astonishment and he ordered
them strictly not to tell anyone or let anyone know about what had happened.
Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:40-56
