 Jairus
    a ruler of the synagogue at Capernaum, whose only daughter Jesus
    restored to life (Mark 5:22; Luke 8:41). Entering into the
    chamber of death, accompanied by Peter and James and John and
    the father and mother of the maiden, he went forward to the bed
    whereon the corpse lay, and said, Talitha cumi, i.e., "Maid,
    arise," and immediately the spirit of the maiden came to her
    again, and she arose straightway; and "at once to strengthen
    that life which had come back to her, and to prove that she was
    indeed no ghost, but had returned to the realities of a mortal
    existence, he commanded to give her something to eat" (Mark
    5:43).
