Marcos 5

The hemorrhage

25 Now a certain woman—who had been bleeding for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things under many doctors, and had spent all that she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse— 27 when she heard about Jesus, she came from behind in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 (She had kept saying, "If I can just touch His clothes, I will be healed.")*The street was packed with people; the crowed was on both sides of Jesus, as well as behind. So she had to push her way forward, and no doubt got plenty of dirty looks, and maybe a few elbows—it would have been easy to give up, but she kept repeating her expectation to herself to keep up her courage (and she was desperate). 29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was healed from the affliction.
