Mark 5:21-43

²¹When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He stayed by the seashore.

²²One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet

²³and implored Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live.”

²⁴And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.

²⁵A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,

²⁶and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse–

²⁷after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

²⁸For she thought, “If I just touch His garments, I will get well.”

²⁹Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

³⁰Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”

³¹And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

³²And He looked around to see the woman who had done this.

³³But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

³⁴And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”

³⁵While He was still speaking, they came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?”

³⁶But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.”

³⁷And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

³⁸They came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.

³⁹And entering in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.”

⁴⁰They began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and entered the room where the child was.

⁴¹Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

⁴²Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.

⁴³And He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.

Mark 5:1-20

¹They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

²When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him,

³and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain;

⁴because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him.

⁵Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones.

⁶Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him;

⁷and shouting with a loud voice, he said, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!”

⁸For He had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

⁹And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he said to Him, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

¹⁰And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

¹¹Now there was a large herd of swine feeding nearby on the mountain.

¹²The demons implored Him, saying, “Send us into the swine so that we may enter them.”

¹³Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

¹⁴Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country. And the people came to see what it was that had happened.

¹⁵They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the “legion”; and they became frightened.

¹⁶Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man, and all about the swine.

¹⁷And they began to implore Him to leave their region.

¹⁸As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him.

¹⁹And He did not let him, but He said to him, “Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.”

²⁰And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.

Mark 4:35-41

³⁵On that day, when evening came, He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side.”

³⁶Leaving the crowd, they took Him along with them in the boat, just as He was; and other boats were with Him.

³⁷And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up.

³⁸Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

³⁹And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still.” And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.

⁴⁰And He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

⁴¹They became very much afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

Mark 10:17-18

¹⁷As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

¹⁸And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

Mark 1:21-31

²¹They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.

²²They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

²³Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

²⁴saying, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are–^(F)the Holy One of God!”

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

²⁶Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.

²⁷They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”

²⁸Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.

²⁹And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

³⁰Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her.

³¹And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.
