Mark 5:22-43 ▼

22 And beholde, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, whose name was Iairus: and when he sawe hym, he fell downe at his feete,

23 And besought hym greatly, saying: my young daughter lieth at poynt of death, I pray thee come and lay thy hande on her, that she may be safe, and lyue.

24 And he went with hym, and much people folowed him, and thronged him.

25 And there was a certayne woman, which had ben diseased of an issue of blood twelue yeres,

26 And had suffred many thynges, of many phisitions, and had spent all that she had, and felt none amendemet at all, but rather the worse.

27 When she had hearde of Iesus, she came in the prease behynde hym, and touched his garment.

28 For she sayde: yf I may but touche his clothes, I shalbe whole.

29 And strayghtway the fountayne of her blood was dryed vp: & she felt in her body, that she was healed of ye plague.

30 And Iesus immediatly, knowyng in hym selfe, that vertue proceaded from hym, turned hym about in the prease, and sayde: who touched my clothes?

31 And his disciples sayde vnto hym: thou seest the people thrust thee, & askest thou, who dyd touche me?

32 And he loked rounde about, for to see her that had done this thyng.

33 But the woman, fearyng & tremblyng, knowyng what was done within her, came, and fell downe before hym, and tolde hym all the trueth.

34 And he sayde vnto her: Daughter thy fayth hath saued thee, go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

35 Whyle he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogues house , certayne, which sayde: thy daughter is dead, why diseasest thou the maister any further?

36 Assoone as Iesus hearde the worde that was spoken, he sayde vnto the ruler of the synagogue, be not afrayde, only beleue.

37 And he suffred no man to folowe him, saue Peter, and Iames, and Iohn the brother of Iames.

38 And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sawe the tumult, and them that wept & wayled greatly.

39 And went in, and sayde vnto them: why make ye this a doe, and wepe? the damsell is not dead, but slepeth.

40 And they laught hym to scorne: But he put them all out, and taketh the father and the mother of the damsell, and them that were with hym, and entreth in where the damsell laye,

41 And taketh the damsell by the hande, and sayth vnto her. Talitha cumi, which is, yf one do interprete it, damsell (I say vnto thee) aryse.

42 And strayghtway the damsell arose, and walked: For she was of the age of twelue yeres. And they were astonyed out of measure.

43 And he charged them straytly, that no man shoulde knowe of it: and commaunded to geue her meate.
