Luke 8:44

Sickness and healingFaith

42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43 including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45 “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46 But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
