Text Quoted in Spirit of Prophecy |
While they were still on the way, a messenger pressed through the crowd, bearing to Jairus the news that his daughter was dead, and it was useless to trouble the Master further. The word caught the ear of Jesus. “Fear not,” He said; “believe only, and she shall be made whole.” { DA 342.5} Read entire Chapter 36 |
The delay of Jesus had been so intensely interesting in its results that even the anxious father felt no impatience but watched the scene with deep interest. As the healed woman was sent away comforted and rejoicing, it encouraged him to believe still more firmly that Jesus was able to grant his own petition and heal his daughter. Hope grew stronger in his heart, and he now urged the Saviour to hasten with him to his home. But, as they resumed their way, a messenger pressed through the crowd to Jairus, bearing the news that his daughter was dead, and it was useless to trouble the Master further. The sympathizing ear of Jesus caught the words that smote the father’s heart like the death-knell of his hopes. The pity of the Saviour was drawn out toward the suffering parent. He said to him, in his divine compassion, “Fear not; believe only, and she shall be made whole.” { 2SP 322.3 } |
“While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not; believe only, and she shall be made whole.” [Luke 8:50] When he came to the ruler’s house, he found the mourners weeping and bewailing her, but he said, “Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.” They had been impatient that he had not come before, and now they thought it was too late. God tries our faith. He says, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.” Jesus took the maid by the hand, and said unto her, “Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway, and he commanded to give her meat.” We should not doubt the power of our Lord, but commit the keeping of our souls to him as unto a faithful Creator. { RH August 6, 1889, par. 11 } |

While they were on the way, a messenger pressed through the crowd, bearing the news that Jairus’s daughter was dead. The word caught the ear of Jesus. “Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.” { HLv 230.3 } Together they hurried to the ruler’s home. Already hired mourners and flute players were filling the air with their clamor. Jesus tried to silence them: “Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.” They were indignant at the words of the Stranger. They had seen the child in the embrace of death. Requiring them all to leave, Jesus took the father { HLv 230.4 } and mother of the maiden, and Peter, James, and John, and entered the chamber of death. { HLv 231.1 } Jesus approached the bedside and, taking the child’s hand in His own, pronounced softly, in the familiar language of her home, “Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.” { HLv 231.2 } |
