The story of Jairus' daughter is a miraculous healing performed by Jesus, as recounted in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, comes to Jesus and begs him to heal his daughter who is gravely ill. On the way to Jairus' house, a woman who has been suffering from a bleeding disorder for twelve years touches Jesus' cloak and is healed.
Despite receiving news that Jairus' daughter has died, Jesus proceeds to his house and raises the girl from the dead. This story demonstrates Jesus' power over illness and death, and highlights the importance of faith and trust in God's healing power.
