25 Now a woman suffering from bleeding(A) for twelve years 26 had endured(B) much under many doctors.(C) She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. 27 Having heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched(D) his clothing.(E) 28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I’ll be made well.”(F) 29 Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was healed(G) of her affliction.

30 Immediately Jesus realized that power(H) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd(I) and said, “Who touched my clothes?”(J)

31 His disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing against you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’

32 But he was looking around to see who had done this. 33 The woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down(K) before him, and told him the whole truth.(L) 34 “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith(M) has saved you.(N) Go in peace and be healed(O) from your affliction.”(P)

25 A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding. 26 She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse. 27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe. 28 For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition.

30 Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?”

31 His disciples said to him, “Look at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?’”

32 But he kept on looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”
