And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.
