This episode recounts the story from Mark 5 in which Jesus, while hurrying through a crowd to heal Jairus’ dying daughter, is interrupted by an anonymous woman who had suffered a debilitating hemorrhage that left her ceremonially unclean, socially ostracized, and financially bankrupt after years of failed medical treatments. In desperate faith, she secretly touches the hem of His garment from behind and is instantly healed; Jesus commends her faith and sends her away in peace. The account draws a parallel to salvation—just as the woman could not heal herself, sinners are spiritually unclean and bankrupt but are made whole instantly by reaching out to Christ alone in faith and then sent forth to live in His peace.
