Mark 5:21-43
Christian Standard Bible
A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed
21 When(A) Jesus had crossed over again by boat[a] to the other side, a large crowd(B) gathered around him while he was by the sea. 22 One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus,(C) came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet(D) 23 and begged him earnestly, “My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on(E) her so that she can get well[b](F) and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against him.
25 Now a woman suffering from bleeding(G) for twelve years 26 had endured(H) much under many doctors.(I) She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. 27 Having heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched(J) his clothing.(K) 28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I’ll be made well.”(L) 29 Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was healed(M) of her affliction.
30 Immediately Jesus realized that power(N) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd(O) and said, “Who touched my clothes?”(P)
31 His disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing against you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
32 But he was looking around to see who had done this. 33 The woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down(Q) before him, and told him the whole truth.(R) 34 “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith(S) has saved you.(T) Go in peace and be healed(U) from your affliction.”(V)
35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the teacher(W) anymore?”
36 When Jesus overheard[c] what was said, he told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid.(X) Only believe.” 37 He did not let anyone accompany him except Peter,(Y) James,(Z) and John,(AA) James’s brother. 38 They came to the leader’s house, and he saw a commotion—people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping?(AB) The child(AC) is not dead but asleep.”(AD) 40 They laughed at him, but he put them all outside. He took the child’s father,(AE) mother, and those who were with him, and entered the place where the child was. 41 Then he took the child(AF) by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum”[d] (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up”(AG)). 42 Immediately the girl got up(AH) and began to walk.(AI) (She was twelve years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.(AJ) 43 Then he gave them strict orders that no one should know about this(AK) and told them to give her something to eat.

Jesus heals two people
21 Jesus crossed the lake again, and on the other side a large crowd gathered around him on the shore. 22 Jairus, one of the synagogue leaders, came forward. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet 23 and pleaded with him, “My daughter is about to die. Please, come and place your hands on her so that she can be healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him.
A swarm of people were following Jesus, crowding in on him. 25 A woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a lot under the care of many doctors, and had spent everything she had without getting any better. In fact, she had gotten worse. 27 Because she had heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes. 28 She was thinking, If I can just touch his clothes, I’ll be healed. 29 Her bleeding stopped immediately, and she sensed in her body that her illness had been healed.
30 At that very moment, Jesus recognized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 His disciples said to him, “Don’t you see the crowd pressing against you? Yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 But Jesus looked around carefully to see who had done it.
33 The woman, full of fear and trembling, came forward. Knowing what had happened to her, she fell down in front of Jesus and told him the whole truth. 34 He responded, “Daughter, your faith has healed you; go in peace, healed from your disease.”
35 While Jesus was still speaking with her, messengers came from the synagogue leader’s house, saying to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. Why bother the teacher any longer?”
36 But Jesus overheard their report and said to the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid; just keep trusting.” 37 He didn’t allow anyone to follow him except Peter, James, and John, James’ brother. 38 They came to the synagogue leader’s house, and he saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “What’s all this commotion and crying about? The child isn’t dead. She’s only sleeping.” 40 They laughed at him, but he threw them all out. Then, taking the child’s parents and his disciples with him, he went to the room where the child was. 41 Taking her hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Young woman, get up.” 42 Suddenly the young woman got up and began to walk around. She was 12 years old. They were shocked! 43 He gave them strict orders that no one should know what had happened. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
