New International Reader's Version

Mark 5:19-24 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. Jesus did not let him. He said, "Go home to your family. Tell them how much the Lord has done for you. Tell them how kind he has been to you."

20. So the man went away. In the area known as the Ten Cities, he began to tell how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

21. Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee in a boat. It landed at the other side. There a large crowd gathered around him.

22. Then a man named Jairus came. He was a synagogue ruler. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet.

23. He begged Jesus, "Please come. My little daughter is dying. Place your hands on her to heal her. Then she will live."

24. So Jesus went with him. A large group of people followed. They crowded around him.
