Context of Mark 5:25
23He said, ‘My little daughter is very ill and she will die very soon. Please come to my house and put your hands on her. Then she will be well and she will live.’ 24So Jesus went with Jairus. A large crowd followed Jesus. The people were pushing against him. There was a sick woman who had lost blood for 12 years. 26She had paid many doctors to help her to become well. But they could not do anything. Now she had spent all her money. She had not become well. Instead, she was now worse. 27People had told her about Jesus. So she came in the crowd behind him and she touched his coat.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 24-34As Jesus heads to Jairus's home, followed by a large crowd, Mark introduces a woman in the crowd who suffers from constant bleeding.
