36. The men who saw these things happen told the others all about how Jesus made the man well.
37. All those who lived in the area around Gerasa asked Jesus to go away because they were afraid. So Jesus got into the boat to go back to Galilee.
38. The man he had healed begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39. “Go back home and tell people what God did for you.” So the man went all over town telling what Jesus had done for him.
40. When Jesus went back to Galilee, the people welcomed him. Everyone was waiting for him.
41-42. A man named Jairus came to him. He was a leader of the synagogue. He had only one daughter. She was twelve years old, and she was dying. So Jairus bowed down at the feet of Jesus and begged him to come to his house. While Jesus was going to Jairus’ house, the people crowded all around him.
43. A woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on doctors, but no doctor was able to heal her.
44. The woman came behind Jesus and touched the bottom of his coat. At that moment, her bleeding stopped.
45. Then Jesus said, “Who touched me?” They all said they had not touched him. And Peter said, “Master, people are all around you, pushing against you.”
46. But Jesus said, “Someone touched me. I felt power go out from me.”
47. When the woman saw that she could not hide, she came forward, shaking. She bowed down before Jesus. While everyone listened, she told why she touched him. Then she said that she was healed immediately when she touched him.
48. Jesus said to her, “My daughter, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace.”
