Mark 5:22–43

^22hThen came one of ⁱthe rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet ²³and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and ^jlay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” ²⁴And he went with him.

And a great crowd followed him and ^kthronged about him. ²⁵And there was a woman ^lwho had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, ²⁶and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. ²⁷She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. ²⁸For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” ^29mAnd immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her ⁿdisease. ³⁰And Jesus, perceiving in himself that ^opower had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” ³¹And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ” ³²And he looked around to see who had done it. ³³But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. ³⁴And he said to her, “Daughter, ^pyour faith has made you well; ^pgo in peace, and be healed of your ⁿdisease.”

³⁵While he was still speaking, there came from ^qthe ruler’s house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why ^rtrouble ^sthe Teacher any further?” ³⁶But overhearing⁵ what they said, Jesus said to ^qthe ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” ³⁷And he allowed no one to follow him except ^tPeter and James and ^uJohn the brother of James. ³⁸They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus⁶ saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. ³⁹And when he had entered, he said to them, ^v“Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but ^wsleeping.” ⁴⁰And they laughed at him. But he ^xput them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. ^41yTaking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, ^zarise.” ⁴²And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. ⁴³And ^ahe strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
