bwe - Mark:5:21-43

bwe@Mark:5:21 @ Jesus crossed over the sea again to the other side. Many people came to him while he was near the water.

bwe@Mark:5:22 @ One of the rulers of the meeting house came to him. His name was Jairus. When he saw Jesus, he kneeled down before him.

bwe@Mark:5:23 @ He said, My little daughter is dying. I beg you, come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.

bwe@Mark:5:24 @ So Jesus went with Jairus. Many people went with Jesus and pushed against him.

bwe@Mark:5:25 @ A woman among them had a sickness for twelve years. She was bleeding all the time.

bwe@Mark:5:26 @ Many doctors tried to heal her. She spent all the money she had to pay them. She was not better, but was getting worse.

bwe@Mark:5:27 @ When she heard of Jesus, she came among the people behind him. Then she reached out and touched his clothes.

bwe@Mark:5:28 @ She said to herself, If only I touch his clothes, I will be well.

bwe@Mark:5:29 @ The bleeding stopped right away. She could feel that she was healed of her trouble.

bwe@Mark:5:30 @ Jesus knew right away that power to heal went out from him. He turned around among the people and said, Who touched my clothes?

bwe@Mark:5:31 @ But his disciples said to him, You see all these people pushing around you. Why do you ask, "Who touched me?"

bwe@Mark:5:32 @ He looked around to see who had done it.

bwe@Mark:5:33 @ The woman was afraid and trembled. She knew what had happened to her. She kneeled down in front of Jesus and told him the truth about herself.

bwe@Mark:5:34 @ He said to her, Daughter, you were healed because you believed. Go and do not be troubled. You are healed.

bwe@Mark:5:35 @ While Jesus was still talking, some people came from the rulers house. They said, Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher any more?

bwe@Mark:5:36 @ Jesus heard it. He said to the ruler, Do not fear. Only believe.

bwe@Mark:5:37 @ Jesus did not let anyone go with him only Peter, James, and his brother John.

bwe@Mark:5:38 @ They came to the rulers house. Jesus saw that there was trouble. People were crying and making much noise because the rulers daughter had died.

bwe@Mark:5:39 @ When he came into the house, he said to them, Why do you make so much noise and cry? The girl is not dead, but is sleeping.

bwe@Mark:5:40 @ They laughed at him. So he sent them all outside. Then he took the girls father and mother and the three disciples into the room where the girl was lying.

bwe@Mark:5:41 @ He took her hand and said, Talitha cumi! That means, Little girl, I tell you, get up!

bwe@Mark:5:42 @ The girl got up right away and walked around. She was twelve years old. The people were very much surprised.

bwe@Mark:5:43 @ Jesus said, Do not tell anyone about this. Give the girl something to eat.
