Scripture from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), public domain.

In Matthew, Jairus says his daughter "has just died" from the start; in Mark and Luke, she is dying and news of her death comes later. Mark's account is twice the length of Matthew's, with more dialogue and emotional detail. The twelve years of the woman's illness matches the girl's age (twelve) in Mark and Luke, a literary connection often noted by scholars.
