Raising of Jairus' Daughter
(Matt. 9:18–19 and 23–26; Mark 5:21–24 and 35–43; Luke 8:40–42 and 49–56)

Christ went to the house of Jairus, the president of a synagogue, and restored to life his daughter who was believed to be dead. The subject somewhat resembles the raising of Tabitha but can be distinguished by the presence of Christ. There were five others with him: "He allowed no one to go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother." Jairus is richly dressed, perhaps wearing a turban. Peter, James and John are typically represented as follows: Peter, gray-bearded; James, dark hair and beard; John noticeably the youngest, clean-shaven and usually long-haired. The child lies on a canopied bed.
