Context of Mark 5:27

25And a certain woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, 26And had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. 28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be made well. 29And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that affliction.
