Context of Mark 5:35
33The woman trembled with fear. She knew what had happened to her. So she quickly bowed in front of him and told him the whole truth. 34Jesus told her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace! Be cured from your illness.” While Jesus was still speaking to her, some people came from the synagogue leader’s home. They told the synagogue leader, “Your daughter has died. Why bother the teacher anymore?” 36When Jesus overheard what they said, he told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid! Just believe.” 37Jesus allowed no one to go with him except Peter and the two brothers James and John.
