Mark 5:21-43

21st Century King James Version

²¹ And when Jesus had passed over again by boat unto the other side, many people gathered unto Him; and He was nigh unto the sea.

²² And behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet

²³ and besought Him greatly, saying, “My little daughter lieth at the point of death. I pray Thee, come and lay Thy hands on her, that she may be healed, and she shall live.”

²⁴ And Jesus went with him, and many people followed Him and thronged Him.

²⁵ And a certain woman who had an issue of blood twelve years,

²⁶ and had suffered many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse,

²⁷ when she had heard of Jesus, came up behind Him in the press of the crowd and touched His garment;

²⁸ for she said, “If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole.”

²⁹ And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

³⁰ And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that virtue had gone out of Him, turned about in the press of the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”

³¹ And His disciples said unto Him, “Thou seest the multitude thronging Thee, and sayest Thou, ‘Who touched Me?’”

³² And He looked round about to see her who had done this thing.

³³ But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before Him and told Him all the truth.

³⁴ And He said unto her, “Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.”

³⁵ While He yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain ones who said, “Thy daughter is dead; why troublest thou the master any further?”

³⁶ As soon as Jesus heard the word that had been spoken, He said unto the ruler of the synagogue, “Be not afraid; only believe.”

³⁷ And He suffered no man to follow Him, save Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

³⁸ And He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult and those who wept and wailed greatly.

³⁹ And when He had come in, He said unto them, “Why make ye this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.”

⁴⁰ And they laughed Him to scorn. But when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the damsel and those who were with Him, and entered in where the damsel was lying.

⁴¹ And He took the damsel by the hand and said unto her, “Talitha cumi,” which is, being interpreted, “Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.”

⁴² And straightway the damsel arose and walked, for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

⁴³ And He charged them strictly that no man should know about it, and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
