Mark 5:21-34

The Authority of Jesus over Demons, Disease, and Death

Mark 5 moves from Jesus crossing into unclean territory and delivering a man from a legion of demons, to Jesus returning among Jewish crowds where a bleeding woman is healed by faith, to Jesus raising Jairus's daughter from death and commanding faith over fear.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

21When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”

24So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

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.”
