Mark 5:21-34

Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus’s Daughter

21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea.

22 ¹Then came one of ²the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet

23 and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and ³lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live. ”

24 And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and ⁴thronged about him.

25 And there was a woman ⁵who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years,

26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.

27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well. ”

29 ⁶And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her ⁷disease.

30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that ⁸power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments? ”

31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me? ’”

32 And he looked around to see who had done it.

33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

34 And he said to her, “Daughter, ⁹your faith has made you well; ¹⁰go in peace, and be healed of your ¹¹disease. ”
