Mark 5:25-27,29-34
And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered
many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing
bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press
behind, and touched his garment. And straightway the fountain of her blood was
dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And
Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned
him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples
said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who
touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But
the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell
down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter,
thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
Jesus and Jairus were in a hurry. But on the way, Jesus had to stop and take care
of a matter. Jesus knew that something had happened, and He just had to find
out what it was. The disciples could believe that Jesus was asking, “Who
touched me?” There were people crowding all around! Any one of a dozen people
had touched Jesus in the last minute alone! But Jesus just knew that goodness
had gone out of Him and He wanted to investigate. Jesus didn’t listen to the
disciples protests, nor did he worry about Jairus in a hurry. Jesus stopped and
looked around and said a second time, “Who touched me?” And the little lady who
was healed came forward to face Jesus. She was afraid, but still told Jesus
what had happened. And Jesus just smiled and said, “Go in peace. Your faith has
made you whole.” And she did.
