  • PER155 The healing of Jairus' daughter

    Pericope 155 recounts the raising of Jairus' daughter by Jesus the Messiah at Capernaum (Feb.–Mar. AD 32). Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, prostrates himself before Jesus to implore the healing of his dying daughter. Despite the delay caused by the healing of a woman with a hemorrhage, Jesus goes to the house, says “Talitha koumi,” and raises the young girl. This miracle bears witness to his authority over death and calls for faith even in desperate situations.

    Luke 8.49-56 (King James Version) :
    While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

The last day up to the crucifixion

  • PER324 Jesus the Messiah speaks of his coming death

    The article deals with the passage in which Jesus announces his coming death, giving his disciples words of comfort and assurance of victory over evil through the resurrection.

    John 16.16-33 (King James Version) :
    A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

    Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
