3.11.12--Translation of Mark 5:21-43 (Just for those who are interested)


21And when Jesus had again crossed over to the other side by boat, a large crowd assembled around him while he was still by the sea. 22 And one of the synagogue rulers came, Jairus by name, and seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet 23and, greatly pleading with him, said, “My little daughter is dying! Come, so that you may lay your hands on her that she might be saved and live!” 24And Jesus went with him, but a large crowd pursued him and pressed into him.
25And there came a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26who had suffered greatly under many physicians and spent all that she had; instead of benefitting from this, though, she only came to be worse. 27And hearing about Jesus, she came into the crowd behind him and touched his garment. 28For she said, “If I can but touch his garment, I will be saved!” 29And immediately her surge of blood dried up and she knew in her body that she had been healed from the whip!
30And immediately Jesus, knowing in him that power had gone out from him, turned to the crowd and asked, “Who touched my garment?” 31His disciples said to him, “You see this crowd pressing into you and yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’” 32But he searched around to see who had done it.
33And the woman, fearful and trembling, and knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and told him the whole truth. 34But he said to her, “Daughter, your courageous trust has saved you. Go in peace and be healed from your whip.”
35While Jesus was speaking, some people came to the synagogue ruler and said, “Your daughter is dead; why continue to trouble the teacher?”
36But Jesus refused to listen to the words they spoke, saying to the synagogue ruler, “Do not fear, only trust courageously.” 37And he refused to permit anyone to come after him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38And going into the house of the synagogue ruler, he saw a commotion; many people were weeping and wailing. 39And entering, he said to them, “Why are you troubled and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
40They laughed at him. But casting them out, he took with him the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him and he moved to the child. 41And taking the child’s hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” that is, “Little girl, I tell you, rise.”
42And immediately the girl rose and began walking, for she was twelve years old. And they were immediately stunned with great astonishment. 43And he commanded many of them so that none would know of this, and he also told them to give her something to eat.
