Those who saw it explained how the man possessed with the
devils was healed. Then the whole multitude of the country around the
Gadarenes besought Jesus to leave.
Jesus went back to the boat. The man who had been possessed by the
devils asked to go with Him. But Jesus sent him away. He said, Return
to thine own house and show the great things God has done for thee. The
man went his way and told the whole city the great things Jesus had
done.
It came to pass that Jesus returned and the people gladly received Him.
They were all waiting for Him. There came a man named Jairus. He was a
ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and besought Him to
come to his house. His only daughter, about twelve years of age, lay
dying. As Jesus started out, the people thronged Him.
A woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years and who had spent
all her living on physicians who were unable to heal her, came up
behind Him, and touched the border of His garment. Immediately her
issue of blood ceased. Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied,
Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and
press thee, and you ask, Who touched me? Jesus said, Somebody has
touched me for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
When the woman felt she could not hide, she came trembling and, falling
down before Him, she declared to Him before all the people why she had
touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.
