Mark 5:21-31

Miracles and Healing

21 ¹When Jesus had crossed over again in ²the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He stayed ³by the seashore.

22 ⁴One of ⁵the synagogue officials 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 ⁶lay Your hands on her, so that she will get 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 cloak.

28 For she thought, "If I just touch His garments, I will get well."

29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her ⁷affliction.

30 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that ⁸the 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?' "
