Mark 5:19-29

19 but he wouldn't let him. Jesus said, "Go home to your own people. Tell them your story - what the Master did, how he had mercy on you."

20 The man went back and began to preach in the Ten Towns area about what Jesus had done for him. He was the talk of the town.

21 After Jesus crossed over by boat, a large crowd met him at the seaside.

22 One of the meeting-place leaders named Jairus came. When he saw Jesus, he fell to his knees,

23 beside himself as he begged, "My dear daughter is at death's door. Come and lay hands on her so she will get well and live."

24 Jesus went with him, the whole crowd tagging along, pushing and jostling him.

25 A woman who had suffered a condition of hemorrhaging for twelve years -

26 a long succession of physicians had treated her, and treated her badly, taking all her money and leaving her worse off than before -

27 had heard about Jesus. She slipped in from behind and touched his robe.

28 She was thinking to herself, "If I can put a finger on his robe, I can get well."

29 The moment she did it, the flow of blood dried up. She could feel the change and knew her plague was over and done with.
