Mark 5: 21. When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other sideof the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.22. Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there. SeeingJesus, he fell at his feet 23. and pleaded earnestly with him, "My littledaughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she willbe healed and live." 24. So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followedand pressed around him. 25. And a woman was there who had been sub- ject to bleeding for twelve years. 26. She had suffered a great deal underthe care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of gettingbetter she grew worse. 27. When she heard about Jesus, she came up be-hind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28. because she thought,"If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." 29. Immediately her bleed-ing stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffer-ing. 30. At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. Heturned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?" 31."You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "andyet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' " 32. ButJesus kept looking aroundto see who had done it. 33. Then the woman, knowing what had hap-pened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told himthe whole truth. 34. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you.Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." 35. While Jesus was stillspeaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler."Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?"36. Ignoring whatthey said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't beafraid; just believe." 37. He did not let anyone follow him except Peter,James and John the brother of James. 38. When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with peoplecrying andwailing loudly. 39. He went in and said to them, "Why all this commo-tion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep." 40. But they laughedat him. After he put them all out, he took the child's father and motherand the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.41. He took her by the hand and said to her, ""Talitha koum!"" (whichmeans, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"). 42. Immediately the girl stoodup and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were com-pletely astonished. 43. He gave strict orders not to let anyone know aboutthis, and told them to give her something to eat.

Luke 5:1 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, withthe people crowding around him and listening to the word of God, 2. hesaw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who werewashing their nets. 3. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging toSimon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat downand taught the peoplefrom the boat. 4. When he had finished speaking,he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for acatch." 5. Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night andhaven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down thenets." 6. When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fishthat their nets began to break. 7. So they signaled their partners in theother boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats sofull that they began to sink. 8. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Je-sus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!" 9. Forhe and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they hadtaken, 10. and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon'spartners. Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on youwill catch men." 11. So they pulled their boats up on shore, left every-thing and followed him.John 1:35. The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.36. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"37. When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38.Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do youwant?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you stay-ing?" 39. "Come," he replied, "and you will see." So they went and sawwhere he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was about the tenthhour. 40. Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heardwhat John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41. The first thing An-drew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found theMessiah" (that is, the Christ). 42. And he brought him to Jesus. Jesuslooked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be calledCephas" (which, when translated, is Peter).
