Jairus (Greek: Ἰάειρος, Iaeiros, from the Hebrew name Yair), a patron or ruler of a Galilee synagogue, had asked Jesus to heal his 12 - year - old daughter, who in Mark's and Luke's accounts was dying, and in Matthew's account, had already died . </P> <P> As they were traveling to Jairus' house, a sick woman in the crowd touched Jesus' cloak and was healed of her sickness . Jesus turned round to the woman and said "Daughter, your faith has made you well . Go in peace ." (see Luke 8: 43 - 48) (Christ healing the bleeding woman). Moments later, a messenger arrived with the news that Jairus' daughter had died, and he was advised not to trouble Jesus any further . However, Jesus responded: </P> <P> Be not afraid, only believe . (Mark 5: 36) </P>
