Gospel: Mark 5:21-43
When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and
he was by the sea. Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw
him, fell at his feet and begged him repeatedly, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and
lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live.” So he went with him.
And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. Now there was a woman who had been
suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years. She had endured much under many physicians, and had
spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. She had heard about Jesus, and
came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, for she said, “If I but touch his clothes, I will
be made well.” Immediately her hemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of
her disease. Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd
and said, “Who touched my clothes?” And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing in on
you; how can you say, ‘Who touched me?’” He looked all around to see who had done it. But the
woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and
told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be
healed of your disease.”
While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader’s house to say, “Your daughter is dead.
Why trouble the teacher any further?” But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the
synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and
John, the brother of James. When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a
commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. When he had entered, he said to them, “Why do you
make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. Then he
put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him, and went
in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha cum,” which means, “Little
girl, get up!” And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about (she was twelve years of age).
At this they were overcome with amazement. He strictly ordered them that no one should know this,
and told them to give her something to eat.
