Mark 5:21-32

21Jesus returned to the other side of the lake in the boat. While he was by the lake, a large crowd came to him.

22A man called Jairus came to Jesus. He was a leader at the Jewish meeting place. When he saw Jesus, he went down on his knees in front of him.

23He said, ‘My little daughter is very ill and she will die very soon. Please come to my house and put your hands on her. Then she will be well and she will live.’

24So Jesus went with Jairus. A large crowd followed Jesus. The people were pushing against him.

25There was a sick woman who had lost blood for 12 years.

26She had paid many doctors to help her to become well. But they could not do anything. Now she had spent all her money. She had not become well. Instead, she was now worse.

27People had told her about Jesus. So she came in the crowd behind him and she touched his coat.

28She said, ‘Even if I can only touch his clothes, I will become well again.’

29As soon as she touched Jesus' coat, the blood stopped. She felt in her body that her illness was better. She knew that she was well again.

30Jesus knew immediately that something powerful had gone out from him. So he turned around in the crowd and he asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’

31His disciples replied, ‘You can see that the crowd is pushing against you. So you cannot ask who touched you!’

32But Jesus looked around him. He wanted to see who had touched him.
