Mark:5:21-43
nsb@Mark:5:21 @ Again Jesus crossed over in the boat to the other side. A great crowd gathered to him while he was by the sea.
nsb@Mark:5:22 @ Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, saw Jesus and fell at his feet.
nsb@Mark:5:23 @ He pleaded with him saying: »My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her that she will be healed and live.«
nsb@Mark:5:24 @ Jesus went with him. A great crowd followed him and they pressed very close to him.
nsb@Mark:5:25 @ There was a woman who had an issue of blood twelve years.
nsb@Mark:5:26 @ She suffered treatment from many physicians but did not become better. She spent all her money and grew worse.
nsb@Mark:5:27 @ Hearing about Jesus she came though the crowd and touched his garment.
nsb@Mark:5:28 @ She said: »If I touch his garments I shall be made whole.«
nsb@Mark:5:29 @ Immediately the flow of her blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
nsb@Mark:5:30 @ Suddenly Jesus recognized that power issued from him. He turned to the crowd and asked: »Who touched my garments?«
nsb@Mark:5:31 @ His disciples said to him: »You see all these people around you and you ask who touched me?«
nsb@Mark:5:32 @ He looked around to see the woman who had done this thing.
nsb@Mark:5:33 @ The woman was afraid and trembled. Knowing what happened she fell down before him, and told him the truth.
nsb@Mark:5:34 @ He said: »Daughter your faith has made you whole. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction.«
nsb@Mark:5:35 @ While he yet spoke they came from the ruler of the synagogues house. They said: »Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher.«
nsb@Mark:5:36 @ But Jesus did not listen. He said to the ruler of the synagogue believe and do not fear.
nsb@Mark:5:37 @ He allowed only Peter, James, and John the brother of James to follow him.
nsb@Mark:5:38 @ The house of the ruler of the synagogue was filled with commotion. Many were weeping and wailing.
nsb@Mark:5:39 @ He entered and said: »Why all the commotion and why do you weep. The child is not dead but sleeps.«
nsb@Mark:5:40 @ They laughed him to scorn. He sent them all out of the house. Then he took the father, mother and his companions and went to the child.
nsb@Mark:5:41 @ He took the child by the hand and said to her: »Talitha cumi.« Which means when interpreted, »little girl I say to you arise.«
nsb@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the twelve-year old girl rose up and walked. And they were promptly amazed with a great amazement.
nsb@Mark:5:43 @ He gave them firm orders not to tell any man about this. Then he commanded that she be given something to eat.
