Mark 5:29-38 Common English Bible (CEB)

29. Her bleeding stopped immediately, and she sensed in her body that her illness had been healed.

30. At that very moment, Jesus recognized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

31. His disciples said to him, "Don’t you see the crowd pressing against you? Yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’"

32. But Jesus looked around carefully to see who had done it.

33. The woman, full of fear and trembling, came forward. Knowing what had happened to her, she fell down in front of Jesus and told him the whole truth.

34. He responded, "Daughter, your faith has healed you; go in peace, healed from your disease."

35. While Jesus was still speaking with her, messengers came from the synagogue leader’s house, saying to Jairus, "Your daughter has died. Why bother the teacher any longer?"

36. But Jesus overheard their report and said to the synagogue leader, "Don’t be afraid; just keep trusting."

37. He didn’t allow anyone to follow him except Peter, James, and John, James’ brother.

38. They came to the synagogue leader’s house, and he saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.
