Scripture:

Mark 5:22-36

^22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. ^23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” ^24 So Jesus went with him.

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. ^25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. ^26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. ^27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, ^28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” ^29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

^30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

^31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

^32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. ^33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. ^34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

^35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

^36 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
