22 A synagogue leader named Jairus also arrived. When he saw Jesus, he quickly bowed down in front of him.
23 He begged Jesus, “My little daughter is dying. Come, lay your hands on her so that she may get well and live.”
24 Jesus went with the man. A huge crowd followed Jesus and pressed him on every side.
25 In the crowd was a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years.
26 Although she had been under the care of many doctors and had spent all her money, she had not been helped at all. Actually, she had become worse.
27 Since she had heard about Jesus, she came from behind in the crowd and touched his clothes.
28 She said, “If I can just touch his clothes, I’ll get well.”
