A short time after, some of those who had formed the crowd at Magdala were gathered together in the house of the Rabbi Jairus.

They were watching the dead.

For in the centre of the room, on a table, lay the body of the Rabbi's daughter shrouded in white linen.

Her father was so cast down with grief that his friends knew not how to console him.
Then someone suggested calling in Jesus of Nazareth, whom they had just seen resting with His followers under the cedars of Hirah.

They narrated the miracles that He had lately worked.
