43 In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to heal her. 44 She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.

45 "Who touched me?" Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so.

"But Master," said Peter, "there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you."

46 "Someone touched me," Jesus replied. "I know because power went out from me."

47 When the woman realized she couldn’t go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she’d been cured immediately.

48 Jesus said to her, "Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace."
