Mark 5:28 In-Context

26 and had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent everything she had and had found no advantage from it, but had rather got worse,

27 having heard concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind and touched his clothes;

28 for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed.

29 And immediately her fountain of blood was dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured from the scourge.

30 And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes?
