GOSPEL
A reading from the Holy Gospel
according to Mark.
When Jesus had crossed again in the
boat to the other side, a great crowd
gathered round him; and he was by the
lake. Then one of the leaders of the
synagogue named Jairus came and,
when he saw him, fell at his feet and
begged him repeatedly, ‘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.’ So he went
with him. And a large crowd followed
him and pressed in on him.
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?’ But overhearing
what they said, Jesus said to the leader
of the synagogue, ‘Do not fear, only
believe.’ He allowed no one to follow
him except Peter, James, and John, the
brother of James. When they came to
the house of the leader of the
synagogue, he saw a commotion, people
weeping and wailing loudly. When he
had entered, he said to them, ‘Why do
you make a commotion and weep? The
child is not dead but sleeping.’ 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. He
took her by the hand and said to her,
‘Talitha cum’, which means, ‘Little girl,
get up!’ And immediately the girl got up
and began to walk about (she was
twelve years of age). At this they were
overcome with amazement. He strictly
ordered them that no one should know
this, and told them to give her
something to eat.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Mark 5
