Mark 5:25-34

25There 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.

28She said, ‘Even if I can only touch his clothes, I will become well again.’

29As soon as she touched Jesus' coat, the blood stopped. She felt in her body that her illness was better. She knew that she was well again.

30Jesus knew immediately that something powerful had gone out from him. So he turned around in the crowd and he asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’

31His disciples replied, ‘You can see that the crowd is pushing against you. So you cannot ask who touched you!’

32But Jesus looked around him. He wanted to see who had touched him.

33The woman knew what had happened to her. She felt very afraid. But she came to Jesus, and she went down on her knees in front of him. Then she told him everything that had happened to her.

34Jesus said to her, ‘Young woman, you are now well again because you believed in me. Have peace in your mind. Go now and have no more pain.’
