2 CORINTHIANS 8: 7-15 Now as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge,
in utmost eagerness, and in our love for you—so we want you to excel also in this generous un-
dertaking.
I do not say this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love against the earn-
estness of others. For you know the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was
rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich. And in
this matter I am giving my advice: it is appropriate for you who began last year not only to do
something but even to desire to do something— now finish doing it, so that your eagerness
may be matched by completing it according to your means. For if the eagerness is there, the
gift is acceptable according to what one has—not according to what one does not have. I do not
mean that there should be relief for others and pressure on you, but it is a question of a fair bal -
ance between your present abundance and their need, so that their abundance may be for your
need, in order that there may be a fair balance. As it is written, ‘The one who had much did not
have too much, and the one who had little did not have too little.’
MARK 5: 21-43 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 daugh-
ter 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. Now there was a woman who had been
suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years. She had endured much under many physicians,
and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. She had heard
about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, for she said, ‘If I but
touch his clothes, I will be made well.’ Immediately her haemorrhage stopped; and she felt in
her body that she was healed of her disease. Immediately aware that power had gone forth from
him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ And his disciples
said to him, ‘You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, “Who touched me?” ’ He
looked all round to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had happened to her,
came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. He said to her,
‘Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.’
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.
