New Testament

Mark 5:23-34 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

23. And he beseeched him greatly, saying: "For my daughter is near the end. Come and lay your hand on her, so that she may be healthy and may live."

24. And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him, and they pressed upon him.

25. And there was a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years.

26. And she had endured much from several physicians, and she had spent everything she owned with no benefit at all, but instead she became worse.

27. Then, when she had heard of Jesus, she approached through the crowd behind him, and she touched his garment.

28. For she said: "Because if I touch even his garment, I will be saved."

29. And immediately, the source of her bleeding was dried up, and she sensed in her body that she had been healed from the wound.

30. And immediately Jesus, realizing within himself that power that had gone out from him, turning to the crowd, said, "Who touched my garments?"

31. And his disciples said to him, "You see that the crowd presses around you, and yet you say, 'Who touched me?' "

32. And he looked around to see the woman who had done this.

33. Yet truly, the woman, in fear and trembling, knowing what had happened within her, went and fell prostrate before him, and she told him the whole truth.

34. And he said to her: "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be healed from your wound."
