THE TWELVE YEAR AFFLICTED WOMAN

 

Matthew 9

  20And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

   21For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

   22But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Mark 5

  25And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

   26And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

   27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

   28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

   29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

   30And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

   31And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

   32And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

   33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

   34And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Luke 8

 43And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

   44Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

   45And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

   46And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

   47And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

   48And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
