New Living Translation (NLT)

Mark 5
¹⁶ Then those who had seen what happened told the others about the demon-possessed man and the pigs.
¹⁷ And the crowd began pleading with Jesus to go away and leave them alone.
¹⁸ As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him.
¹⁹ But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.”
²⁰ So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.
²¹ Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side of the lake, where a large crowd gathered around him on the shore.
²² Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet,
²³ pleading fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please come and lay your hands on her; heal her so she can live.”
²⁴ Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.
²⁵ A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding.
²⁶ She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse.
