Jairus was a synagogue ruler who asked Jesus to come to his house and heal his 12-year-old daughter. On the way to the house, Jesus healed a woman who had been sick for 12 years.
By the time they arrived, the little girl had died, and the funeral had already begun. Jesus raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead.
Some people thought the woman and the father were “bothering” Jesus, but Jesus was concerned with both. We can approach God with problems, whether they are “big” or “small”.
