The record of the daughter of Jairus is a combination of miracles of Jesus in the Gospels (Mark 5:21–43, Matthew 9:18–26, Luke 8:40–56).
The story immediately follows the exorcism at Gerasa. Jairus, a patron or ruler of a Galilee synagogue, had asked Jesus to heal his 12-year-old daughter, who in Mark's and Luke's accounts was dying, and in Matthew's simplified account, had already died.
As they were traveling to Jairus' house, a sick woman in the crowd touched Jesus' cloak and was healed of her sickness (see Christ healing the bleeding woman). Moments later, a messenger arrived with the news that Jairus' daughter had died, and he was advised not to trouble Jesus any further. However, Jesus responded:
Jesus continued to the house, where he informed all those present that the girl was not dead but asleep. He then went upstairs and restored the little girl to life. In Mark's account, the Aramaic phrase "Talitha Koum" (transliterated into Greek as ταλιθα κουμ and meaning, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!") is attributed to Jesus.
Jairus is a biblical name associated with the story of the Raising of Jairus' daughter.
If i could steal you're waking, then i would hang you on the strings
You'd stay cutting all the words,making circles with your feet
Poison on top of fracture lines, passive where no one interupts
Today we breathed in this towns air
And conjured illness to escape beaten walls
And how long will you stand aside perfecting this abandonment?
Today we breathed this towns air
And conjoured illness to escape
Beaten walls and last chances
