The Good Shepherd - A Life of Christ for Children by Anonymous
page 31 of 62 (50%)

When Jesus came back to Capernaum, a man, called Jairus, fell down at
His feet and begged Him to go to his house, where his little girl,
about twelve years old, was dying. So Jesus and His disciples started
to go to Jairus' house, and a great crowd of people went with Him. But
while they were going, someone came to Jairus, and said, 'It is of no
use to trouble the Master any more. The child is dead.' But Jesus
said to him quickly, 'Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she shall be
made well.'

When Jesus came to the house of Jairus, He heard a great noise. As
soon as anyone dies in the East, people come to the house, and cry and
howl, and play wretched music. They are paid to do that. That was the
noise which Jesus heard, and he asked, 'Why do you make this ado? The
little maid is sleeping.' And those rude people laughed at Jesus, just
as if He did not know what He was talking about. So Jesus turned them
all out.

Then Jesus took three of His disciples--Peter, and James and John--and
Jairus and his wife; and they went together to look at the child.
There she was, lying quite still. Life had flown away from her body.
But Jesus took hold of the girl's hand, and said, 'My little lamb, I
say unto thee, Arise.' And life flew back to her body again, and she
opened her eyes and got up, and walked. And Jesus told her father and
mother to give her something to eat.

When Jesus came out of Jairus' house, two blind men followed Him,
begging Him to make them well. Jesus waited till He had got back to
the house where He was staying and then He touched their eyes, and made
them see.
