The Hem of Jesus’ Robe

Jesus was known as a healer, and one woman had such faith in His power that He healed her without even trying to. A woman who had had “a flow of blood” for twelve years and had spent her income on doctors came up behind Jesus in a crowd and touched the hem of His garment.

“And immediately her flow of blood stopped.” Jesus asked, “Who touched Me?” and the disciples thought it a foolish question, with so many people crowding around.

But the woman came forth, trembling, and explained what she had done. Jesus was moved: “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace” (Luke 8:43–48).
