25 Now there was a woman who had had a flow of blood+ for 12 years.+ 26 She had suffered much* at the hands of many physicians and had spent all her resources, and she was no better but, rather, had become worse. 27 When she heard the reports about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his outer garment,+ 28 for she kept saying: “If I touch just his outer garments, I will get well.”+ 29 And immediately her flow of blood dried up, and she sensed in her body that she had been healed of the grievous sickness.
