Mark 5:21-34

Jesus healed a woman that touched His garment Mark 5:21-34: Jesus once again returned to the western shore of the Sea of Galilee and as usual a large crowd followed him. A man named Jairus came to Jesus and fell at His feet. He was one of the rulers of the synagogue. This would have been an important role to fulfill. But troubles are no respecter of persons. In this case the man's daughter was at the point of death. He said, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live."

As Jesus journeyed with Jairus a great crowd followed Him. One person was a poor woman that had been hemorrhaging for twelve years. Mark said, she “had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse." (Mark 5:26) Doctor Luke said it a little milder, "And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any." (Luke 8:43) This woman felt that she could be healed if she could only touch Jesus' cloths. She came up behind Him in the crowd and barely touched His garments. As soon as she touched the garment of Jesus, her bleeding stopped. She knew right away that she had been healed. Jesus knew that power had gone out from Him so He asked "Who touched my garments?" She came trembling with fear and knelt down before Jesus and told her story. How her heart must have rejoiced when Jesus said, "You are now well because of your faith. May God give you peace! You are healed, and you will no longer be in pain." Truly, this man is the Son of God!
