PER153
The interrupted healing of Jairus' daughter
La péricope 153 relate le début de l'épisode de la fille de Jaïrus à Capernaüm (février-mars 32). Dirigeant de synagogue, Jaïrus supplie Jésus de guérir sa fille unique de 12 ans. Mais Jésus, retardé par la foule, n'arrive pas à temps : la fillette décède. Ce récit synoptique (Mt 9.18-19 ; Mc 5.21-24 ; Lc 8.40-42) soulève la question de la foi de Jaïrus face à l'épreuve de la mort.
Luke 8.40-42 (King James Version) :And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
