New Testament

Mark 5:28-35 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

28. She thought, "I just need to touch his clothes. Then I will be healed."

29. Right away her bleeding stopped. She felt in her body that her suffering was over.

30. At once Jesus knew that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd. He asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

31. "You see the people," his disciples answered. "They are crowding against you. And you still ask, 'Who touched me?' "

32. But Jesus kept looking around. He wanted to see who had touched him.

33. Then the woman came and fell at his feet. She knew what had happened to her. She was shaking with fear. But she told him the whole truth.

34. He said to her, "Dear woman, your faith has healed you. Go in peace. You are free from your suffering."

35. While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus. He was the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher anymore?"
