Mark 5:27

Jesus
FaithHope

25 And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.

26 She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.

When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

28 For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

29 Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
