Mark 5:17-29

¹⁷And they began to beg him to depart from their coasts.

¹⁸And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought him that he might be with him.

¹⁹And he suffered him not, but says to him, Go to thine home to thine own people, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and has had mercy on thee.

²⁰And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.

²¹And Jesus having passed over in the ship again to the other side, a great crowd gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

²²And behold there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and seeing him, falls down at his feet;

²³and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; I pray that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.

²⁴And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed on him.

²⁵And a certain woman who had had a flux of blood twelve years,

²⁶and had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent everything she had and had found no advantage from it, but had rather got worse,

²⁷having heard concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his clothes;

²⁸for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed.

²⁹And immediately her fountain of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured from the scourge.
