25 Now there was a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years.

26 Although she had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all of her money, she had not been helped at all but rather grew worse.

27 Since she had heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his robe.

28 For she had been saying, "If I can just touch his robe, I will get well."

29 Her bleeding stopped at once, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her illness.
