Context of Mark 5:27
25And a certain woman who had had a flux of blood twelve years, 26and had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent everything she had and had found no advantage from it, but had rather got worse, having heard concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his clothes; 28for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed. 29And immediately her fountain of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured from the scourge.
