Wisdom of Solomon 1:13-15,2:23-24
(13) Because God made not death; Neither delights he when the living perish: (14) For he created all things that they might have being: And the generative powers of the world are healthsome, And there is no poison of destruction in them: Nor has Hades royal dominion upon earth, (15) For righteousness is immortal: (23) Because God created man for incorruption, And made him an image of his own proper being; (24) But by the envy of the devil death entered into the world, And those who are of his portion make trial thereof.
Psalms 30:1,3-5,10-12
(1) I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me. (3) Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (4) Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name. (5) For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning. (10) Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.” (11) You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness, (12) To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
2 Corinthians 8:7,9,13-15
(7) But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace. (9) For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich. (13) For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed, (14) but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality. (15) As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
Mark 5:21-43
(21) When 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. (22) Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, (23) and 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.” (24) He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides. (25) A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years, (26) and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, (27) having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes. (28) For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.” (29) Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. (30) Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” (31) His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’” (32) He looked around to see her who had done this thing. (33) But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. (34) He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.” (35) While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?” (36) But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Don’t be afraid, only believe.” (37) He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. (38) He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing. (39) When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.” (40) They 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. (41) Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!” (42) Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement. (43) He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
