Context of Mark 5:25

23and begged him earnestly, “My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on her so that she can get well and live.” 24So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against him. Now a woman suffering from bleeding for twelve years 26had endured much under many doctors. She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. 27Having heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothing.

She is an example of the faith that Jairus should have.Read the comment
