‏ Mark 5:21-24

The Healing of the Bloody Issue.

After the people of the Gadarenes asked Jesus to leave their area, he returned by boat to the other side of the lake. There, a large crowd quickly gathered around him. This shows that even when some reject Jesus, others will welcome him and seek his help. Among those who came to him were two people in desperate need—one openly asking for help for a child, and another quietly seeking healing for herself.

v. 21-24: Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came to Jesus with great humility and urgency. He fell at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come and heal his little daughter, who was about twelve years old and close to death. Jairus believed that if Jesus laid his hands on her, she would live. Jesus agreed to go with him, and a large crowd followed (Mark 5:21-24; Luke 8:42-49 a).
