Gospel of Mark

But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don't be afraid, only believe."

He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

He came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.

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."

He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick folk, and healed them.

He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.

He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
