那時候，耶穌乘船，回到對岸；有大夥群眾，聚集在他周圍。耶穌於是留在海濱。當時，來了一個會堂長，名叫雅依洛，一見耶穌，就跪伏在耶穌腳前，懇求耶穌說：「我的小女兒快要死了。請你來，給她覆手，叫她康復，使她活下去。」耶穌就同會堂長一起去。有一大群人，跟隨著耶穌，擁擠著耶穌。
當時，有一個婦人，患血漏已有十二年。她在許多醫生手裡，受了許多痛苦，花盡了她所有的一切，不但沒有見效，反而病勢日益加重。她聽了有關耶穌的傳說，便來到人群中，從後邊摸了耶穌的衣裳，因為她心裡想：「只要我一摸他的衣裳，我的病就會好了。」結果，她的血漏，立刻停止了，並且覺得身上的疾病也好了。
耶穌立刻覺得，有一種能力，從自己身上出去；於是，在人群中，回過頭來，說：「誰摸了我的衣裳？」
耶穌的門徒向耶穌說：「你看！群眾四面擁擠著你，你還問：誰摸了我？」
耶穌四周觀望，要看做這事的婦人。那婦人明知在自己身上所發生的事，就戰戰兢兢地前來，跪伏在耶穌腳前，把實情完全告訴了耶穌。
耶穌便向那婦人說：「女兒，你的信德救了你。平安回去吧！你的疾病必得痊瘉！」
耶穌還在說話的時候，有人從會堂長家裡來，說：「你的女兒死了，你還勞煩師父做什麼？」
耶穌聽見所說的話，就給會堂長說：「不要怕，只管信。」
除了伯多祿、雅各伯，和雅各伯的弟弟若望外，耶穌沒有帶任何人跟他去。他們到了會堂長的家裡，耶穌看見群眾非常喧嘩：有的哭泣，有的哀號；耶穌便進去，給他們說：「你們為什麼喧嘩哭泣呢？小女孩並沒有死，只是睡著了！」他們都譏笑耶穌。耶穌卻把眾人趕出去，帶著小女孩的父親和母親，以及同他在一起的人，進去小女孩所在的地方。
耶穌拿起小女孩的手，對她說：「塔里塔，古木！」意思是：「女孩，我命令你起來！」那女孩就立刻起來行走，原來她已十二歲了。
眾人都驚訝得目瞪口呆。耶穌卻嚴厲命令他們，不要叫任何人知道這事；又吩咐給女孩子食物吃。

43rd Anniversary of Our Lady of Medjugorje
A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 5:21-43
When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea. One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward. Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, “My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her that she may get well and live.” He went off with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him.
There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse. She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. She said, “If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.” Immediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who has touched my clothes?” But his disciples said to Jesus, “You see how the crowd is pressing upon you, and yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?'” And he looked around to see who had done it. The woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.”
While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?” Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official, he caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. So he went in and said to them, “Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.” And they ridiculed him. Then he put them all out. He took along the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and entered the room where the child was. He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. At that they were utterly astounded. He gave strict orders that no one should know this and said that she should be given something to eat.
