Mark 5:21–6:13
21 aWhen Jesus had crossed over again in bthe boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He 1stayed cby the seashore.
22 aOne of bthe synagogue 1officials named Jairus * came up, and on seeing Him, * fell at His feet
23 and * implored Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and alay Your hands on her, so that she will 1get well and live.”
24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.
25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,
26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse—
27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His 1cloak.
28 For she 1thought, “If I just touch His garments, I will 2get well.”
29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her aaffliction.
30 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that athe power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”
31 And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
32 And He looked around to see the woman who had done this.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
34 And He said to her, “Daughter, ayour faith has 1made you well; bgo in peace and be healed of your caffliction.”
35 While He was still speaking, they * came from the house of the asynagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?”
36 But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, * said to the asynagogue official, “bDo not be afraid any longer, only 1believe.”
37 And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except aPeter and 1James and John the brother of 1James.
38 They * came to the house of the asynagogue official; and He * saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.
39 And entering in, He * said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.”
40 They began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He * took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and * entered the room where the child was.
41 Taking the child by the hand, He * said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, aI say to you, get up!”).
42 Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.
43 And He agave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.
1 aJesus went out from there and * came into 1bHis hometown; and His disciples * followed Him.
2 When the Sabbath came, He began ato teach in the synagogue; and the bmany listeners were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such 1miracles as these performed by His hands?
3 “Is not this athe carpenter, bthe son of Mary, and brother of 1James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not cHis sisters here with us?” And they took doffense at Him.
4 Jesus said to them, “aA prophet is not without honor except in 1bhis hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”
5 And He could do no 1miracle there except that He alaid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6 And He wondered at their unbelief.
aAnd He was going around the villages teaching.
7 aAnd bHe * summoned the twelve and began to send them out cin pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
8 aand He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff—no bread, no 1bag, no money in their belt—
9 but 1to wear sandals; and He added, “Do not put on two 2tunics.”
10 And He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you 1leave town.
11 “Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, ashake the dust 1off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them.”
12 aThey went out and 1preached that men should repent.
13 And they were casting out many demons and awere anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.
