Mark 5:21-43

\\n

And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. 22 Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet 23 and implored him earnestly, saying, \\u201cMy little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.\\u201d 24 And he went with him.

And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. 25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, \\u201cIf I touch even his garments, I will be made well.\\u201d 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, \\u201cWho touched my garments?\\u201d 31 And his disciples said to him, \\u201cYou see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, \\u2018Who touched me?\\u2019\\u201d 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, \\u201cDaughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.\\u201d

35 While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler\'s house some who said, \\u201cYour daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?\\u201d 36 But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, \\u201cDo not fear, only believe.\\u201d 37 And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. 38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he had entered, he said to them, \\u201cWhy are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.\\u201d 40 And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child\'s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. 41 Taking her by the hand he said to her, \\u201cTalitha cumi,\\u201d which means, \\u201cLittle girl, I say to you, arise.\\u201d 42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43 And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
