Mark 5: 21
- 43
|
| 21 |
And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat
to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him; and he was beside the sea.
|
| 22 |
Then came one of the rulers of the
synagogue, Ja'irus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
|
| 23 |
and besought him, saying, "My little
daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she
may be made well, and live." |
| 24 |
And he went with him. And a great crowd
followed him and thronged about him. |
| 25 |
And there was a woman who had had a flow of
blood for twelve years, |
| 26 |
and who had suffered much under many
physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew
worse. |
| 27 |
She had heard the reports about Jesus, and
came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. |
| 28 |
For she said, "If I touch even his garments,
I shall be made well." |
| 29 |
And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and
she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. |
| 30 |
And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power
had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who
touched my garments?" |
| 31 |
And his disciples said to him, "You see the
crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, `Who touched me?'" |
| 32 |
And he looked around to see who had done it.
|
| 33 |
But the woman, knowing what had been done to
her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole
truth. |
| 34 |
And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith
has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."
|
| 35 |
While he was still speaking, there came from
the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher
any further?" |
| 36 |
But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to
the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe." |
| 37 |
And he allowed no one to follow him except
Peter and James and John the brother of James. |
| 38 |
When they came to the house of the ruler of
the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly.
|
| 39 |
And when he had entered, he said to them,
"Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping."
|
| 40 |
And they laughed at him. But he put them all
outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and
went in where the child was. |
| 41 |
Taking her by the hand he said to her,
"Tal'itha cu'mi"; which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."
|
| 42 |
And immediately the girl got up and walked
(she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with
amazement. |
| 43 |
And he strictly charged them that no one
should know this, and told them to give her something to eat. |
