Mark 5:25-34

A woman was there who had been ill from bleeding for twelve years. She'd suffered considerably under the care of many doctors, and had spent all she had. But nothing helped her—in fact she'd grown worse. She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd, and touched his cloak. She was telling herself, “If I can just touch his cloak, I'll be healed.” The bleeding stopped immediately, and she felt her body healed from her disease. Jesus, sensing at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my cloak?” “Look at the crowd jostling you. What do you mean, ‘Who touched me?’” the disciples replied. But Jesus went on looking around to see who had done it. The woman, realizing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. “My daughter, your trust in me has healed you. Go in peace. You have been completely cured of your disease,” Jesus told her.
