The Woman's Faith

Mark 5:25-34, Luke 8:43-48 (NIV)

A woman who had been bleeding for twelve years had spent all she had on doctors but only grew worse. She heard about Jesus and pressed through the crowd, thinking, "If I just touch his cloak, I will be healed." She touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. Jesus felt power go out from him and asked, "Who touched me?" The woman, trembling, fell before him and told her story. Jesus said, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace." Faith that pushes through fear brings hope and healing.
