Mark 5:18-41

¹⁸When he was getting into the boat, the demon-possessed man begged him that he might be with him.

¹⁹But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your house and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, and how he has shown you mercy.”

²⁰So he went away and began to proclaim the great things that Jesus had done for him in the Decapolis, and everyone was amazed.

²¹Now when Jesus had crossed over again to the other side, in the boat, a great crowd gathered around him, as he was beside the sea.

²²Then one of the leaders of the synagogue, named Jairus, came, and when he saw him, fell at his feet.

²³He begged again and again, saying, “My little daughter is near death. I beg you, come and lay your hands on her that she may be made well and live.”

²⁴So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and pressed close around him.

²⁵Now a woman was there who had a flow of blood for twelve years.

²⁶She had suffered much from many doctors and had spent everything that she had, but instead of getting better she grew worse.

²⁷When she had heard the reports about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak.

²⁸For she said, “If I touch just his clothes, I will be healed.”

²⁹When she touched him, the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her affliction.

³⁰Jesus immediately realized in himself that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?”

³¹His disciples said to him, “You see this crowd pressed around you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'”

³²But Jesus looked around to see who had done it.

³³The woman, knowing what had happened to her, feared and trembled. She came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

³⁴He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed from your disease.”

³⁵While he was speaking, some people came from the leader of the synagogue, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any longer?”

³⁶But when Jesus overheard what they said, he said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid. Just believe.”

³⁷He did not permit anyone to accompany him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.

³⁸They came to the house of the leader of the synagogue and he saw there people making a lot of noise; they were weeping and wailing loudly.

³⁹When he entered the house, he said to them, “Why are you upset and why do you weep? The child is not dead but sleeps.”

⁴⁰They laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the father of the child and the mother and those who were with him, and he went in where the child was.

⁴¹He took the hand of the child and said to her, “Talitha, koum!” which being translated would be, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
