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.
