Mark 5:23-36

²³saying, “My little daughter is at death's door. Please come and place your hands on her so that she may recover and live.”

²⁴So Jesus went with him. A great number of people followed Jesus, and kept pressing around him.

²⁵Meanwhile a woman who for twelve years had suffered from hemorrhage,

²⁶and undergone much at the hands of many doctors, (spending all she had without obtaining any relief, but, on the contrary, growing worse),

²⁷heard about Jesus, came behind in the crowd, and touched his cloak.

²⁸“If I can only touch his clothes,” she said, “I will get well!”

²⁹At once her bleeding stopped, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her affliction.

³⁰Jesus at once became aware of the power that had gone out from him, and, turning around in the crowd, he said, “Who touched my clothes?”

³¹“You see the people pressing around you,” exclaimed his disciples, “and yet you say ‘Who touched me?’”

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

³³Then the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself down before him, and told him the whole truth.

³⁴“Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you; be free from your affliction.”

³⁵Before he had finished speaking, some people from the house of the synagogue leader came and said, “Your daughter is dead! Why should you trouble the teacher further?”

³⁶But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only have faith.”
