1Therefore let’s also,seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,lay aside every weight and the sinwhich so easily entangles us,and let’s run with perseverance the racethat is set before us,2looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith,who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising its shame,and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3For consider himwho has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,that you don’t grow weary,fainting in your souls.4You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.

26My praise of you comes in the great assembly.I will pay my vows before those who fear him.27The humble shall eat and be satisfied.They shall praise the Lord who seek after him.Let your hearts live forever.

28All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord.All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.30All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship.All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him,even he who can’t keep his soul alive.

31Posterity shall serve him.Future generations shall be told about the Lord.32They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born,for he has done it.

21When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side,a great multitude was gathered to him;and he was by the sea.22Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue,Jairus by name, came;and seeing him, he fell at his feet23and begged him much,saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death.Please come and lay your hands on her,that she may be made healthy, and live.”

24He went with him, and a great multitude followed him,and they pressed upon him on all sides.25A certain womanwho had a discharge of blood for twelve years,26and had suffered many things by many physicians,and had spent all that she had,and was no better,but rather grew worse,27having heard the things concerning Jesus,came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes.28For she said, “If I just touch his clothes,I will be made well.”29Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up,and she felt in her bodythat she was healed of her affliction.

30Immediately Jesus,perceiving in himselfthat the power had gone out from him,turned around in the crowd and asked,“Who touched my clothes?”

31His disciples said to him,“You see the multitude pressing against you,and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”

32He looked around to see her who had done this thing.33But the woman, fearing and trembling,knowing what had been done to her,came and fell down before him,and told him all the truth.

34He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”

35While he was still speaking,people came from the synagogue ruler’s house,saying, “Your daughter is dead.Why bother the Teacher any more?”

36But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken,immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue,“Don’t be afraid, only believe.”37He allowed no one to follow him except Peter,James, and John the brother of James.38He came to the synagogue ruler’s house,and he saw an uproar,weeping, and great wailing.39When he had entered in,he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep?The child is not dead, but is asleep.”

40They ridiculed him.But he, having put them all out,took the father of the child,her mother, and those who were with him,and went in where the child was lying.41Taking the child by the hand,he said to her, “Talitha cumi!”which means, being interpreted,“Girl, I tell you, get up!”42Immediately the girl rose up and walked,for she was twelve years old.They were amazed with great amazement.43He strictly ordered them that no one should know this,and commandedthat something should be given to her to eat.
