16
And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine.
17
Then they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.
18
And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him.
19
However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you."
20
And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.
21
Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.
22
And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet
23
and begged Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live."
24
So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.
25
Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years,
26
and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.
27
When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.
28
For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."
29
Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
30
And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?"
31
But His disciples said to Him, "You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, Who touched Me?' "
32
And He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
34
And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction."
35
While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"
36
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid; only believe."
