Mark 5:30-40

30 At once Jesus knew that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd. He asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

31 "You see the people," his disciples answered. "They are crowding against you. And you still ask, 'Who touched me?' "

32 But Jesus kept looking around. He wanted to see who had touched him.

33 Then the woman came and fell at his feet. She knew what had happened to her. She was shaking with fear. But she told him the whole truth.

34 He said to her, "Dear woman, your faith has healed you. Go in peace. You are free from your suffering."

35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus. He was the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher anymore?"

36 But Jesus didn't listen to them. He told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid. Just believe."

37 He let only Peter, James, and John, the brother of James, follow him.

38 They came to the home of the synagogue ruler. There Jesus saw a lot of confusion. People were crying and sobbing loudly.

39 He went inside. Then he said to them, "Why all this confusion and sobbing? The child is not dead. She is only sleeping."

40 But they laughed at him. He made them all go outside. He took only the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him. And he went in where the child was.
