The woman with an issue of blood

Mark 5:32-34

But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.
Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at His feet and, trembling with fear, told Him the whole truth.  
He said to her: “Daughter, your faith has healed you.
Go in peace and be freed from your suffering".

Full bible text

Mark 5 verse 25 to 34
25  And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 
26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 
27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak, 
28 because she thought: “If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed.” 
29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd and asked: “Who touched My clothes?"
31 "You see the people crowding against you", His disciples answered, “and yet You can ask: "Who touched Me?"
32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.  
33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at His feet and, trembling with fear, told Him the whole truth.  
34 He said to her: “Daughter, your faith has healed you. 
Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.''


About this painting

Jairus begs Jesus to come to his home where his 12-year-old daughter is severely ill. Meanwhile a woman secretly touches the tassel of Jesus’ garment. She believes that even by only touching His garment, she will be healed from her bleeding.
 
Many in the crowd were pushing and swarming around Jesus, but not on purpose.
She touched Him intentionally, in faith, and was healed.
