Torah: Exodus 14:9 - 14:14
Gospel: Mark 5:21 - 5:43

Torah — Exodus 14:9 - 14:14

14:9 And the Egyptians chased after them, and they overtook them encamped at the sea—all the horses of the chariots of Pharaoh and his charioteers and his army—at Pi-hahiroth before Baal Zephon.

14:10 And Pharaoh approached, and the Israelites lifted their eyes, and there were the Egyptians traveling after them! And they were very afraid, and the Israelites cried out to Yahweh.

14:11 And they said to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt? Is that why you have taken us to die in the desert? What is this you have done to us by bringing us out from Egypt!

14:12 Isn’t this the word we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone so that we can serve Egypt!’ because serving Egypt is better for us than our dying in the desert.”

14:13 And Moses said to the people, “You must not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will accomplish for you today, because the Egyptians whom you see today you will see never again.

14:14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you must be quiet.”

Gospel — Mark 5:21 - 5:43

5:21 A Woman Healed and a Daughter Raised And after Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to him, and he was beside the sea.

5:22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue came—Jairus by name—and when he saw him, he fell down at his feet.

5:23 And he was imploring him many times, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death! Come, lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and will live.”

5:24 And he went with him, and a large crowd was following him and pressing around him.

5:25 And there was a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages twelve years.

5:26 And she had endured many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had and had received no help at all, but instead became worse.

5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind him and touched his cloak,

5:28 for she was saying, “If I touch just his clothing, I will be healed!”

5:29 And immediately her hemorrhage stopped and she realized in her body that she was healed of her suffering.

5:30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from himself, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothing?”

5:31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say ‘Who touched me?’”

5:32 And he was looking around to see the one who had done this.

5:33 So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

5:34 But he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering.”

5:35 While he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?”

5:36 But Jesus, ignoring what was said, told the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid—only believe!”

5:37 And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

5:38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and people weeping and wailing loudly.

5:39 And when he entered, he said to them, “Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.”

5:40 And they began laughing at him. But he sent them all out and took along the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was.

5:41 And taking hold of the child’s hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”),

5:42 and immediately the girl stood up and began walking around (for she was twelve years old). And immediately they were utterly and completely astonished.

5:43 And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her something to eat.

5:21 A Dying Girl and a Suffering Woman Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee in a boat. It landed at the other side. There a large crowd gathered around him.

5:22 Then a man named Jairus came. He was a synagogue ruler. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet.

5:23 He begged Jesus, “Please come. My little daughter is dying. Place your hands on her to heal her. Then she will live.”

5:24 So Jesus went with him. A large group of people followed. They crowded around him.

5:25 A woman was there who had a sickness that made her bleed. It had lasted for 12 years.

5:26 She had suffered a great deal, even though she had gone to many doctors. She had spent all the money she had. But she was getting worse, not better.

5:27 Then she heard about Jesus. She came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.

5:28 She thought, “I just need to touch his clothes. Then I will be healed.”

5:29 Right away her bleeding stopped. She felt in her body that her suffering was over.

5:30 At once Jesus knew that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd. He asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

5:31 “You see the people,” his disciples answered. “They are crowding against you. And you still ask, ‘Who touched me?’”

5:32 But Jesus kept looking around. He wanted to see who had touched him.

5:33 Then the woman came and fell at his feet. She knew what had happened to her. She was shaking with fear. But she told him the whole truth.

5:34 He said to her, “Dear woman, your faith has healed you. Go in peace. You are free from your suffering.”

5:35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus. He was the synagogue ruler. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

5:36 But Jesus didn’t listen to them. He told the synagogue ruler, “Don’t be afraid. Just believe.”

5:37 He let only Peter, James, and John, the brother of James, follow him.

5:38 They came to the home of the synagogue ruler. There Jesus saw a lot of confusion. People were crying and sobbing loudly.

5:39 He went inside. Then he said to them, “Why all this confusion and sobbing? The child is not dead. She is only sleeping.”

5:40 But they laughed at him. He made them all go outside. He took only the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him. And he went in where the child was.

5:41 He took her by the hand. Then he said to her, “Talitha koum!” This means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

5:42 The girl was 12 years old. Right away she stood up and walked around. They were totally amazed at this.

5:43 Jesus gave strict orders not to let anyone know what had happened. And he told them to give her something to eat.
