A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed

21 When(A) Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a large crowd(B) gathered around Him while He was by the sea. 22 One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus,(C) came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at His feet(D) 23 and kept begging Him, “My little daughter is at death’s door.[a] Come and lay Your hands on(E) her so she can get well(F) and live.”

24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against Him. 25 A woman suffering from bleeding(G) for 12 years 26 had endured(H) much under many doctors.(I) She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. 27 Having heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched(J) His robe.(K) 28 For she said, “If I can just touch His robes, I’ll be made well!”(L) 29 Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was cured(M) of her affliction.

30 At once Jesus realized in Himself that power(N) had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd(O) and said, “Who touched My robes?”(P)

31 His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’

32 So He was looking around to see who had done this. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came with fear and trembling, fell down(Q) before Him, and told Him the whole truth.(R) 34 “Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith(S) has made you well.[b](T) Go in peace and be free[c](U) from your affliction.”(V)
