Name Date

Read the Story

Across the lake, Jesus met a man who was very troubled and lived alone among the tombs. Jesus set him free from evil spirits. The man was calm and in his right mind. Jesus told him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you."

Back across the lake, a woman who had been sick for twelve years came behind Jesus. She thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well." She touched them and was healed right away. Jesus said, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."

A synagogue leader named Jairus begged Jesus to help his dying daughter. Then news came that she had died. Jesus said, "Don't be afraid, only believe." He took the girl's hand and said, "Talitha cumi!" which means, "Girl, I tell you, get up!" She got up and walked. She was twelve years old.
