Mark 5:21-43
We find ourselves in a section of Mark where he reports on four miracles 1) Jesus' authority over nature - the winds and waves obey Him; 2) Jesus' authority over demons - a man who has not one demon but a legion of demons is delivered; 3) and 4) are today's two miracles where is authority extends to even over life and death itself. All four miracles are connected to travels of the group around the lake, known as the Sea of Galilee.
We find Jesus and the Twelve together in a boat departing from the west side of the lake. The first miracle happens while they are on the lake itself. It was last week that we met this lonely, tormented man. It was here that Mark focuses on Jesus' authority over the evil, demonic forces. Today's two miracles are sandwiched together into one story that occurs on the west side of the lake.
And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. 22 Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet 23 and implored him earnestly, saying, ''My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.'' 24 And he went with him.
And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. 25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, ''If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.'' 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, ''Who t ...
