This passage from the Bible describes a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years and suffered greatly. Despite spending all her money on doctors, her condition only worsened. She heard about Jesus and his ability to heal people. When she touched his cloak in the crowd, her bleeding stopped immediately. Jesus asked who touched him, as he felt power leave him. The woman admitted what she did out of faith that touching him would heal her. Jesus said her faith had healed her and told her to go in peace. The story illustrates that reaching out to Jesus in faith can bring healing, freedom from suffering, peace with God, and rest.

had gone out from him. He turned
around in the crowd and asked,

against you,” his disciples
answered, “and yet you can ask,
‘Who touched me?’”

around to see who had
done it.
