Mark 5:21-43
Holman Christian Standard Bible
A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed
21 When(A) Jesus had crossed over again by boat 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 kept begging Him, “My little daughter is at death’s door.[a] Come and lay Your hands on(E) her so she can get well(F) and live.”
24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against Him. 25 A woman suffering from bleeding(G) for 12 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 behind Him in the crowd and touched(J) His robe.(K) 28 For she said, “If I can just touch His robes, I’ll be made well!”(L) 29 Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was cured(M) of her affliction.
30 At once Jesus realized in Himself that power(N) had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd(O) and said, “Who touched My robes?”(P)
31 His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
32 So He was looking around to see who had done this. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came with fear and trembling, fell down(Q) before Him, and told Him the whole truth.(R) 34 “Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith(S) has made you well.[b](T) Go in peace and be free[c](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 But when Jesus overheard 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 started laughing 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 12 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 said that she should be given something to eat.

Mark 5:21-43
International Standard Version
Jesus Heals a Woman and Resurrects a Girl(A)
21 When Jesus again had crossed to the other side in a boat,[a] a large crowd gathered around him by the seashore. 22 Then a synagogue leader named Jairus arrived. When he saw Jesus,[b] he fell at his feet 23 and begged him urgently, saying, “My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on her so that she may get well and live.” 24 So Jesus[c] went with him. A huge crowd kept following him and jostling him.
25 Now there was a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years. 26 Although she had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all of her money, she had not been helped at all, but rather grew worse. 27 Since she had heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his robe, 28 because she had been saying, “If I can just touch his robe, I will get well.” 29 Her bleeding stopped at once, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her illness.
30 Immediately Jesus became aware that power had gone out of him. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 His disciples asked him, “You see the crowd jostling you, and yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 But he kept looking around to look at the woman who had done this. 33 So the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came forward fearfully, fell down trembling in front of him, and told him the whole truth.
34 He told her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed from your illness.”
35 While he was still speaking, some people[d] came from the synagogue leader’s home[e] and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?”
36 But when Jesus heard[f] what they said, he told the synagogue leader, “Stop being afraid! Just keep on believing.” 37 Jesus[g] allowed no one to go further with him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus[h] saw mass confusion. People[i] were crying and sobbing loudly. 39 He entered the house[j] and asked them, “Why all this confusion and crying? The child isn’t dead. She’s sleeping.” 40 They laughed and laughed at him. But when he had driven all of them outside, he took the child’s father and mother, along with the men who were with him, and went into the room[k] where the child was.
41 He took her by the hand and told her, “Talitha koum,”[l] which means, “Young lady, I tell you, get up!” 42 The young lady got up at once and started to walk. She was twelve years old. Instantly they were overcome with astonishment. 43 But Jesus[m] strictly ordered them not to let anyone know about this. He also told them to give her something to eat.
