Mark 5:14-43

14 The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.

15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed^[a] man, the one who had had ¹the legion, sitting there, ²clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

16 And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs.

17 And ³they began to beg Jesus^[b] to depart from their region.

18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.

19 And he did not permit him but said to him, "Go home to your friends and ⁴tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

20 And he went away and began to proclaim in ⁵the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.

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 ⁶Then came one of ⁷the 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 ⁸lay 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 ⁹thronged about him.

25 And there was a woman ¹⁰who 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 ¹¹And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her ¹²disease.

30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that ¹³power 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, ¹⁴your faith has made you well; ¹⁵go in peace, and be healed of your ¹⁶disease."

35 While he was still speaking, there came from ¹⁷the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why ¹⁸trouble ¹⁹the Teacher any further?"

36 But overhearing^[c] what they said, Jesus said to ²⁰the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."

37 And he allowed no one to follow him except ²¹Peter and James and ²²John the brother of James.

38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus^[d] saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.

39 And when he had entered, he said to them, ²³"Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but ²⁴sleeping."

40 And they laughed at him. But he ²⁵put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.

41 ²⁶Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Talitha cumi," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, ²⁷arise."

42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.

43 And ²⁸he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
