Mark 5:22–43

^22aOne of ^bthe synagogue ¹officials named Jairus came up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet

²³and 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.”

²⁴And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

²⁵A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,

²⁶and 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—

²⁷after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His ¹cloak.

²⁸For she ¹thought, “If I just touch His garments, I will ²get well.”

²⁹Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her ^aaffliction.

³⁰Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that ^athe power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”

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

³²And He looked around to see the woman who had done this.

³³But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

³⁴And He said to her, “Daughter, ^ayour faith has ¹made you well; ^bgo in peace and be healed of your ^caffliction.”

³⁵While He was still speaking, they came from the house of the ^asynagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?”

³⁶But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the ^asynagogue official, “^bDo not be afraid any longer, only ¹believe.”

³⁷And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except ^aPeter and ¹James and John the brother of James.

³⁸They came to the house of the ^asynagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.

³⁹And entering in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.”

⁴⁰They 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.

⁴¹Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, ^aI say to you, get up!”).

⁴²Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.

⁴³And He ^agave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.
