Mark 5:21-43

Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus’s Daughter

21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. 22 Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet 23 and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.” 24 And he went with him.

And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. 25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling 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 disease.”

35 While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler’s house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” 36 But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” 37 And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. 38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” 40 And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. 41 Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43 And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

  1. Our faith will be the factor in our life that determines how we live and how we believe. Christ is there for us and will heal us of all maladies.

    1. I will live by Faith not by sight. Hallelujah and Amen 🙏🏻✝🙏🏻✝💜💜🙌🏻🙌🏻

  3. Come what may: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I am saved in this life and the life to come.

  5. Thank you LORD for being our “Jehovah Rapha – The God that Heals”. I trust you LORD !!

  6. Have faith in God , he’s on his throne….he will not fail, he will prevail, have faith in God , have faith in God.

  7. God help us to be the Light that shines in this dark evil world.
    Help us to show everyone Your Light.

    Thank you, Jesus.

  8. Psalm 50:15 says; “Call on ME in a day of trouble, I will rescue you, and you will honor me.” I believe JESUS knew who touch HIM, but so that GOD the FATHER gets the glory publicly for her healing, HE asked who touched me? JESUS did things that no one can explain; HE controls the power of nature, demons, & even death. How could Peter, James, & John explain what they did not understand, & neither can I. JESUS came to seek & save the lost (those who recognize that they (we) were lost & to heal & that was cause for hope. HE truly is LORD & SAVIOR. Praise HIM forever.

  9. We must believe and live by faith when asking God for help. We must believe and not doubt and our faith will shine through. Our life should be a picture of powerful faith if we are believers.

    Be blessed church.

  10. So very clear and simply put….”Do not fear, only believe.”
    Jesus gave His directions. With His help, I will follow them!

  11. Jesus is willing to cross any divide to heal our infirmities that hinders us from following him as a sincere believer. Jesus is in the business of healing and restoring us into a right relationship with himself. It is right to live and not die and to be in good health. Jesus is exercising his power and authority over sickness and death thereby showing us we do not need to be afraid of either.

    We should be like the women who diligently sort healing, believing in Jesus without doubt and falling at his feet in a humble posture. Jairus also sort healing for another. Believing that the power of Jesus would raise his daughter from the dead. Life circumstances can take a stronghold on us rendering us dormant while others can rob us of being useful.

    Jesus cares about each and every one of us. It doesn’t matter if we are alone or in a crowd. He wants us to come to him so that our needs can be met. Jesus personally took note of this one woman that was in the crowd. She came to Jesus believing that he can heal her.
