Mark 5

The Healing of a Woman Mark 5:21–34

²¹Verse 21. When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea. ²²Verse 22. Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, ²³Verse 23. and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live.” ²⁴Verse 24. He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides. ²⁵Verse 25. A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,

²⁶Verse 26. and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, ²⁷Verse 27. having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes. ²⁸Verse 28. For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.” ²⁹Verse 29. Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. ³⁰Verse 30. Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

³¹Verse 31. His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’” ³²Verse 32. He looked around to see her who had done this thing. ³³Verse 33. But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. ³⁴Verse 34. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”

Jesus Raises Jairus' Daughter Mark 5:35–43

³⁵Verse 35. While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?” ³⁶Verse 36. But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.” ³⁷Verse 37. He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. ³⁸Verse 38. He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing. ³⁹Verse 39. When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.”

⁴⁰Verse 40. They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying. ⁴¹Verse 41. Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!” ⁴²Verse 42. Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement. ⁴³Verse 43. He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
