Mark 5:21-43

New Matthew Bible

²¹ And when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, crowds of people gathered to him. And he was near to the sea. ²² And there came one of the leaders of the synagogue, whose name was Jairus. And when he saw him, he fell down at his feet, ²³ and besought him greatly, saying, My daughter lies at the point of death. Please come and lay your hand on her, so that she can be saved and live.

²⁴ And Jesus went with him, and the crowds followed him and thronged him. ²⁵ And there was a certain woman who had been troubled by a flow of blood for twelve years. ²⁶ She had endured many things from many physicians, and spent all that she had, and was not helped at all, but grew worse and worse. ²⁷ When she heard of Jesus, she penetrated the press behind him and touched his garment. ²⁸ For she thought, If I can but touch his clothes, I shall be healed. ²⁹ And straightaway her flow of blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the illness.

³⁰ And Jesus immediately felt in himself the power that went out of him, and turned around in the press of people and said, Who touched my clothes? ³¹ And his disciples said to him, You see the people thronging you, and yet you ask, Who touched me?

³² And he looked round about to see who had done it. ³³ The woman feared and trembled (for she knew what was done within her), and she came and fell down before him, and told him the truth of everything. ³⁴ And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you whole. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.

³⁵ While he was yet speaking, certain people came from the house of the synagogue leader and said, Your daughter is dead; why trouble the Teacher any further? ³⁶ As soon as Jesus heard that word spoken, he said to the leader of the synagogue, Be not afraid; only believe.

³⁷ And he let no one follow him other than Peter, James, and John the brother of James. ³⁸ And he went to the house of the synagogue leader and saw the disturbance, and the people who wept and wailed greatly, ³⁹ and went in and said to them, Why do you make this ado, and weep? The maiden is not dead, but sleeping. ⁴⁰ And they laughed him to scorn.

Then he put them all out, and took the father and the mother of the maiden and those who were with him, and entered in where the maiden lay. ⁴¹ He took the maiden by the hand and said to her, Tabitha, cumi! which translated is, Child, I say to you, arise! ⁴² And at once the maiden arose, and she walked on her feet, for she was twelve years of age. And they were astonished at it beyond measure. ⁴³ And he charged them strictly that no one should know of it, and said to give her food.
