The woman who had been suffering from blood loss for 12 years, mark 5:21-34
Jesus returned to the other side of the sea in the boat, where a large crowd gathered round him. He was standing by the sea.
When one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus, saw him, he fell at his feet and prayed earnestly, "My little daughter is at the end of the world; come and lay your hands on her, that she may be saved and live.
Jesus went with him. A great crowd followed him and pressed on.
Now, there was a woman who had been suffering from blood loss for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal at the hands of several doctors, had spent all she had, and had not felt any relief, but rather had got worse.
When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, "If I can only touch his clothes, I will be made well.
Immediately the loss of blood stopped, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her illness.
Immediately Jesus knew in himself that power had gone out of him; and turning in the midst of the crowd, he said, "Who touched my clothes? His disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing you, and you say, 'Who touched me? And he looked round to see the woman who had done this.
The woman, afraid and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and told him the whole truth.
But Jesus said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace and be healed of your sickness.
