Mark 5:20-36

²⁰So the man went on his way and began to tell the people of the Ten Cities everything Jesus had done for him, and everyone was amazed.

²¹Jesus went back again by boat to the other side of the lake where a large crowd gathered around him at the shore.

²²A synagogue leader, a man named Jairus, came to him. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet

²³and pleaded with him, saying, “My little daughter is about to die. Please come and place your hands on her so she may be healed and live.”

²⁴So Jesus went with him. Everybody followed, crowding and jostling him.

²⁵A woman was there who had been ill from bleeding for twelve years.

²⁶She'd suffered considerably under the care of many doctors, and had spent all she had. But nothing helped her—in fact she'd grown worse.

²⁷She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd, and touched his cloak.

²⁸She was telling herself, “If I can just touch his cloak, I'll be healed.”

²⁹The bleeding stopped immediately, and she felt her body healed from her disease.

³⁰Jesus, sensing at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my cloak?”

³¹“Look at the crowd jostling you. What do you mean, ‘Who touched me?’” the disciples replied.

³²But Jesus went on looking around to see who had done it.

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

³⁴“My daughter, your trust in me has healed you. Go in peace. You have been completely cured of your disease,” Jesus told her.

³⁵While he was still speaking some people came from the home of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”

³⁶But Jesus paid no attention to what they said. He told the synagogue leader, “Don't be afraid, just trust in me.”
