Jesus was still there speaking. Some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue {\cf2\super [58]} leader. The men said, “Your daughter is dead. There is now no need to bother the teacher (Jesus).”
Jesus answered, “Go into the city. Go to a man I know. Tell him that the teacher says, ‘The chosen time is near. I will have the Passover {\cf2\super [401]} meal with my followers at your house.’”
While Jesus was saying these things, a leader of the synagogue {\cf2\super [113]} came to him. The leader bowed down before Jesus and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and touch her with your hand, and she will live again.”
Jesus started to leave, but a man ran to him and bowed on his knees before Jesus. The man asked, “Good teacher, what must I do to get the life that never ends?”
While Jesus was still speaking, a person came from the house of the synagogue {\cf2\super [156]} leader (Jairus) and said, “Your daughter has died! Don’t bother the teacher (Jesus) now.”
After Martha said these things, she went back to her sister Mary. Martha talked to Mary alone. Martha said, “The Teacher (Jesus) is here. He is asking for you.”
Mary went to the place where Jesus was. When she saw Jesus, she bowed at his feet. Mary said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
I tell you the truth. An \{important\} time is coming. That time is already here. People that are dead \{in sin\} will hear the voice of the Son of God. And the people that \{accept the things they\} hear \{from the Son\} will have life \{forever\}.
