005:023 and besought Him with many entreaties. "My little daughter," he said, "is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live." 005:024 And Jesus went with him. And a dense crowd followed Him, and thronged Him on all sides. 005:025 Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage, 005:026 and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse, 005:027 heard of Jesus. And she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak; 005:028 for she said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured." 005:029 In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured. 005:030 Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone from within Him, turned round in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?" 005:031 "You see the multitude pressing you on all sides," His disciples exclaimed, "and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'" 005:032 But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this, 005:033 until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet, and told Him all the truth. 005:034 "Daughter," He said, "your faith has cured you: go in peace, and be free from your complaint." 005:035 While He is yet speaking, men come from the house to the Warden, and say, "Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Rabbi further?" 005:036 But Jesus, overhearing the words, said to the Warden, "Do not be afraid; only have faith." 005:037 And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter and the brothers James and John. 005:038 So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing. 005:039 He goes in. "Why all this outcry and loud weeping?" He asks; "the child is asleep, not dead." 005:040 To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies. 005:041 Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, "Talitha, koum;" that is to say, "Little girl, I command you to wake!" 005:042 Instantly the little girl rises to her feet and begins to walk (for she was twelve years old). They were at once beside themselves with utter astonishment; 005:043 but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be made known, and directed them to give her something to eat. 006:001 Leaving that place He came into His own country, accompanied by His disciples.
