wmth Mark:5:21-43

wmth@Mark:5:21 @ When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,

wmth@Mark:5:22 @ when there came one of the Wardens of the Synagogue –he was called Jair– who, on beholding Him, threw himself at His feet,

wmth@Mark:5:23 @ and besought Him with many entreaties. »My little daughter,« he said, »is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live.«

wmth@Mark:5:24 @ And Jesus went with him. And a dense crowd followed Him, and thronged Him on all sides.

wmth@Mark:5:25 @ Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage,

wmth@Mark:5:26 @ and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse,

wmth@Mark:5:27 @ heard of Jesus. And she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak;

wmth@Mark:5:28 @ for she said, »If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured.«

wmth@Mark:5:29 @ In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured.

wmth@Mark:5:30 @ Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone from within Him, turned round in the crowd and asked, »Who touched my clothes?«

wmth@Mark:5:31 @ »You see the multitude pressing you on all sides,« His disciples exclaimed, »and yet you ask, `Who touched me?'«

wmth@Mark:5:32 @ But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this,

wmth@Mark:5:33 @ until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet, and told Him all the truth.

wmth@Mark:5:34 @ »Daughter,« He said, »your faith has cured you: go in peace, and be free from your complaint.«

wmth@Mark:5:35 @ While He is yet speaking, men come from the house to the Warden, and say, »Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Rabbi further?«

wmth@Mark:5:36 @ But Jesus, overhearing the words, said to the Warden, »Do not be afraid; only have faith.«

wmth@Mark:5:37 @ And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter and the brothers James and John.

wmth@Mark:5:38 @ So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.

wmth@Mark:5:39 @ He goes in. »Why all this outcry and loud weeping?« He asks; »the child is asleep, not dead.«

wmth@Mark:5:40 @ To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies.

wmth@Mark:5:41 @ Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, »Talitha, koum;« that is to say, »Little girl, I command you to wake!«

wmth@Mark:5:42 @ Instantly the little girl rises to her feet and begins to walk (for she was twelve years old). They were at once beside themselves with utter astonishment;

wmth@Mark:5:43 @ but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.
