²² And [behold] there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and seeing him, falls down at his feet;

²³ and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; [I pray] that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.

²⁴ And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed on him.
