Mark 5:21a-27

^21aThen Jesus returned westwards to the other side of the waterhole.

^21bMany people gathered with Jesus at the edge of the waterhole.

²²A man came, his name was Jairus. He was boss for the meeting house in his town. As soon as he saw Jesus he kneeled down in front of him.

²³He begged him, “My young daughter is very sick, she might die. Come to my camp, touch her with your hand. After that she will not die, she will truly stay alive.”

²⁴Jesus went with him, many were following those two. The people were squashing each other.

²⁵This woman also followed him. That woman had been sick a long time, 12 years. She truly kept losing blood (lit. 'blood kept crawling for her'), it was a big sickness.

²⁶She used to go to various doctors. They did not heal her. Hers was a big sickness. After that she had no money, still she was staying sick.

²⁷She heard, “Jesus heals sick people.” After she heard she said to herself, “I will touch just his clothes. After I touch him I will truly become well, I will be without sickness.” She did that. Partway along she came close to him, from behind she touched his clothes.
