Luke 8:43-48

43 And there was a woman 1who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her 2living on physicians,[a] she could not be healed by anyone.
44 She came up behind him and touched 3the fringe of his garment, and 4immediately her discharge of blood ceased.
45 And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter[b] said, "Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!"
46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I perceive that 5power has gone out from me."
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48 And he said to her, "Daughter, 6your faith has made you well; 7go in peace."
