Context of Mark 5:27

25Now a woman suffering from bleeding for twelve years 26had endured much under many doctors. She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. Having heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothing. 28For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I’ll be made well.” 29Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
