- Jesus heals Jairus' daughter
- at 12 and almost dead
- reported dead when Jesus was on the way there
- 'Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.' Jesus comforted the father when the news arrived;
- 'My child, get up!'
- Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up;
- Jesus heals the sick woman
- 12 years of bleeding
- touched the edge of Jesus' cloak and the bleeding stopped immediately;
- Jesus felt the power went out of him;
- He wants the woman to identify herself, so he asked, 'who touched me?'
- She admitted in fear and gave her testimony on what just happened to her;
- Jesus said, 'Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.'
- Jesus can even raise the dead back to life, and he can heal the 'incurable' diseases; bring our case to Jesus; don't be afraid and just believe! He can!
- Jesus sends out the Twelve
- take nothing on the journey
- stay at the same house until you leave town; why? why not stay at different ones? or even one per night? the only reasons I can think of are:
- this way it'd save time; and the time saved can be used for more important things;
- good testimony for the host family;
- easier for the local people to find them if they know where they stay;
- won't get confused or lost at the end of the day;
- those who don't welcome you, dust off your feet when you leave town, as a testimony against them;
- Jesus wants people to know who doesn't welcome his disciple;
