005:024 And Jesus went with him. And a dense crowd followed Him,
and thronged Him on all sides.
005:025 Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage,
005:026 and had undergone many different treatments under a number
of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit
but on the contrary growing worse,
005:027 heard of Jesus. And she came in the crowd behind Him and
touched His cloak;
005:028 for she said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured."
005:029 In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself
that her complaint was cured.
005:030 Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone
from within Him, turned round in the crowd and asked,
"Who touched my clothes?"
005:031 "You see the multitude pressing you on all sides,"
His disciples exclaimed, "and yet you ask, `Who touched me?'"
005:032 But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this,
005:033 until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what
had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet,
and told Him all the truth.
005:034 "Daughter," He said, "your faith has cured you: go in peace,
and be free from your complaint."
005:035 While He is yet speaking, men come from the house to the Warden,
and say, "Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Rabbi further?"
005:036 But Jesus, overhearing the words, said to the Warden, "Do not
be afraid; only have faith."
005:037 And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter and
the brothers James and John.
005:038 So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene
of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.
