Mark 5:25-43

Goodspeed(i) 25 And a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had had a great deal of treatment from various doctors and had spent all that she had and had not been benefited at all but had actually grown worse, 27 had heard about Jesus. And she came up in the crowd behind him and touched his coat, 28 for she said, "If I can only touch his clothes, I shall get well." 29 The hemorrhage stopped at once, and she felt in her body that she was cured. 30 Jesus instantly perceived that healing power had passed from him, and he turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?" 31 His disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?' " 32 But he still looked around to see the person who had done it. 33 The woman, knowing what had happened to her, came forward frightened and trembling, and threw herself down at his feet and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, "My daughter, it is your faith that has cured you. Go in peace and be free from your disease." 35 Even as he spoke people came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why should you trouble the Master any further?" 36 But Jesus paid no attention to what they said, but said to the leader of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, just have faith." 37 He let no one go with him but Peter, James, and James's brother John. 38 They came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, and there he found everything in confusion, and people weeping and wailing. 39 And he went into the house and said to them, "What is the meaning of all this confusion and crying? The child is not dead, she is asleep." 40 And they laughed at him. But he drove them all out, and took the child's father and mother and the men who were with him and went into the room where the child was lying. 41 And he grasped her hand and said to her, "Taleitha, koum!"—that is to say, "Little girl, I tell you, get up!" 42 And the little girl immediately got up and walked about, for she was twelve years old. The moment they saw it they were utterly amazed. 43 And he strictly forbade them to let anyone know of it, and told them to give her something to eat.
