The people came to see what it was that had happened.
005:015 They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed
by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him
who had the legion; and they were afraid.
005:016 Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him
who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
005:017 They began to beg him to depart from their region.
005:018 As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed
by demons begged him that he might be with him.
005:019 He didn't allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house,
to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord
has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
005:020 He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus
had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
005:021 When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side,
a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
005:022 Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came;
and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
005:023 and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at
the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her,
that she may be made healthy, and live."
005:024 He went with him, and a great multitude followed him,
and they pressed upon him on all sides.
005:025 A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
005:026 and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent
all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
005:027 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him
in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
005:028 For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
005:029 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt
in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
005:030 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had
gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked,
"Who touched my clothes?"
005:031 His disciples said to him, "You see the multitude pressing
against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
005:032 He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
005:033 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been
done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him
all the truth.
005:034 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well.
Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
005:035 While he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue
ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother
the Teacher any more?"
005:036 But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said
to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don't be afraid, only believe."
005:037 He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John
the brother of James.
