21 (NIV) When Jesus had
again crossed over by boat to the other side of the
lakeÉ 22 one of the synagogue rulers, nam-ed
JairusÉ Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet 23 and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying.
Please come and put your hands on her so that
she will be healed and live." 24 So Jesus went
with him. A large crowd followed and press-ed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had
suffered a great deal under the care of many
doctors and had spent all she had, yet
instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in
the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought,
"If I just touch his clothes, I will be
healed." 29 Immediately her bleed-ing
stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
