36

The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39
“Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
