25And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.
26She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.
27When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.
28For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”
29Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”
31His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”
32But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.
34“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”
35While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”
36But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”
37And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.
39He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
40And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.
41Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
42Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around. She was twelve years old, and at once they were utterly astounded.
43Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
