Healing of the Woman with the Issue of Blood
A woman who had bled for twelve years touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was made whole.
On the way to Jairus's house, Jesus was pressed by a crowd. A woman who had suffered hemorrhages for twelve years pressed through and touched the border of His garment. She was healed at once. Jesus felt virtue go out of Him, turned, and called her forward. 'Daughter,' He said, 'thy faith hath made thee whole.'
