Mark 5:21

Jesus

19 But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”

20 So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

22 A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

23 and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”
