Mark 5:22–43

²²One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, ^kcame, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at His feet ^l23and kept begging Him, “My little daughter is at death’s door. ^mCome and lay Your hands on ⁿher so she can get well ^oand live.”

²⁴So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against Him. ²⁵A woman suffering from bleeding ^pfor 12 years ²⁶had endured ^qmuch under many doctors. ^rShe had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. ²⁷Having heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched ^sHis robe. ^t28For she said, “If I can just touch His robes, I’ll be made well!” ^u29Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was cured ^vof her affliction.

³⁰At once Jesus realized in Himself that power ^whad gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd ^xand said, “Who touched My robes?” ^y

³¹His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

³²So He was looking around to see who had done this. ³³Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came with fear and trembling, fell down ^zbefore Him, and told Him the whole truth. ^a34“Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith ^bhas made you well. ^cdGo in peace and be free ^effrom your affliction.” ^g

³⁵While He was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher ^hanymore?”

³⁶But when Jesus overheard what was said, He told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid. ⁱOnly believe.” ³⁷He did not let anyone accompany Him except Peter, ^jJames, ^kand John, ^lJames’s brother. ³⁸They came to the leader’s house, and He saw a commotion—people weeping and wailing loudly. ³⁹He went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? ^mThe child ⁿis not dead but asleep.” ^o

⁴⁰They started laughing at Him, but He put them all outside. He took the child’s father, ^pmother, and those who were with Him, and entered the place where the child was. ⁴¹Then He took the child ^qby the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” ^r(which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!” ^s). ⁴²Immediately the girl got up ^tand began to walk. ^u(She was 12 years old.) At this they were utterly astounded. ^v43Then He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this ^wand said that she should be given something to eat.
