Mark 5:21-32

21Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side of the lake, where a large crowd gathered around him on the shore.

22Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet,

23pleading fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please come and lay your hands on her; heal her so she can live.”

24Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.

25A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding.

26She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse.

27She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe.

28For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”

29Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition.

30Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?”

31His disciples said to him, “Look at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?’”

32But he kept on looking around to see who had done it.
