Mark 5 – 6 1101 say , ‘ Who touched me ?’ ” 32 He looked all around to see who had done it . 33 But the woman , knowing what had happened to her , came in fear and trembling , fell down before him , and told him the whole truth . 34 He said to her , “ Daughter , your faith has made you well ; go in peace , and be healed of your disease .”
35 While he was still speaking , some people came from the leader ’ s house to say , “ Your daughter is dead . Why trouble the teacher any further ?” 36 But overhearing a what they said , Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue , “ Do not fear , only believe .” 37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter , James , and John , the brother of James . 38 When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue , he saw a commotion , people weeping and wailing loudly . 39 When he had entered , he said to them , “ Why do you make a commotion and weep ? The child is not dead but sleeping .” 40 And they laughed at him . Then he put them all outside , and took the child ’ s father and mother and those who were with him , and went in where the child was . 41 He took her by the hand and said to her , “ Talitha cum ,” which means , “ Little girl , get up !” 42 And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about ( she was twelve years of age ). At this they were overcome with amazement . 43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this , and told them to give her something to eat .

What is this wisdom that has been given to him ? What deeds of power are being done by his hands ! 3 Is not this the carpenter , the son of Mary b and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon , and are not his sisters here with us ?” And they took offense c at him . 4 Then Jesus said to them , “ Prophets are not without honor , except in their hometown , and among their own kin , and in their own house .” 5 And he could do no deed of power there , except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them . 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief .
The Mission of the Twelve
Then he went about among the villages teaching . 7 He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two , and gave them authority over the unclean spirits . 8 He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff ; no bread , no bag , no money in their belts ; 9 but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics . 10 He said to them , “ Wherever you enter a house , stay there until you leave the place . 11 If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you , as you leave , shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them .” 12 So they went left that place and came to his hometown , and his disciples fola 5.36 Or ignoring ; other ancient authorities read
