Publisher's Synopsis
Jesus went about healing during His life-bringing restoration of both body and soul to those who thronged after Him and touched the hem of His garment. Yet out of all the crowds He helped, we know very few names. One of them is Jairus, the leader of the synagogue in Capernaum. It's a story important enough to be retold by three different gospel writers. However, it's also entwined with that of a woman who had been bleeding incessantly for twelve years.
There's a clue in the name Jairus. And another clue in the healing of the bleeding woman. Jesus was addressing a historical wound that went back nearly two millennia.
