Mark 5:24-34 (Sts. Elizabeth and Barbara)
24 |
So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him. |
25 |
Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, |
26 |
and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. |
27 |
When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. |
28 |
For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well." |
29 |
Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. |
30 |
And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?" |
31 |
But His disciples said to Him, "You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?' " |
32 |
And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. |
33 |
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. |
34 |
And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction." |
