20. The man went away into the region near the ten cities known as Decapolis and began telling everyone how much Jesus had done for him. Everyone who heard what had happened was amazed.
21. Once again Jesus got into the boat and crossed Lake Galilee. Then as he stood on the shore, a large crowd gathered around him.
22. The person in charge of the Jewish meeting place was also there. His name was Jairus, and when he saw Jesus, he went over to him. He knelt at Jesus' feet
23. and started begging him for help. He said, “My daughter is about to die! Please come and touch her, so she will get well and live.”
24. Jesus went with Jairus. Many people followed along and kept crowding around.
25. In the crowd was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years.
26. She had gone to many doctors, and they had not done anything except cause her a lot of pain. She had paid them all the money she had. But instead of getting better, she only got worse.
27. The woman had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him in the crowd and barely touched his clothes.
28. She had said to herself, “If I can just touch his clothes, I will get well.”
29. As soon as she touched them, her bleeding stopped, and she knew she was well.
30. At that moment Jesus felt power go out from him. He turned to the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31. His disciples said to him, “Look at all these people crowding around you! How can you ask who touched you?”
32. But Jesus turned to see who had touched him.
33. The woman knew what had happened to her. She came shaking with fear and knelt down in front of Jesus. Then she told him the whole story.
