야이로(Jairus) 는 예수님이 활동하던 시기의
Capernaum 에서 있던 회당장이다.
22 Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23 and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.”
그에게는 열두 살 외동딸이 있었는데, 그 딸이 큰 병이 들어 죽게되자 예수님을 찾아왔다.
41 Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet, and begged him to come into his house,
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
그러나 예수님이 오는 동안에 혈루증 앓는 여인이 예수님의 옷에 손을 대고 병이 나은 일이 일어나고 이런 과정가운데 야이로에게로 가는 길이 늦어지게 되었다. 결국 딸이 죽었다는 전갈이 오게 된다.
While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
그러나 그럼에도 예수님은 야이로의 집에 가져서 아이를 살리시는 기적을 베푸셨다.
51 When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter , John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
52 All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
53 They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56 Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
