Mark 5:25-34(NKJV)
Now a certain woman had a flow
of blood for twelve years,
and had suffered many things
from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but
rather grew worse.
When she heard about
Jesus, she came behind Him in the
crowd and touched His garment.
For she said, “If
only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
Immediately the
fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the
affliction.
And Jesus,
immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in
the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
But His disciples
said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who
touched Me?’”
And He looked around
to see her who had done this thing.
But the woman,
fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down
before Him and told Him the whole truth.
And He said to
her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed
of your affliction.”
One of the things
that I have always found interesting about this passage is that Jesus didn't
condemn the physicians for charging the woman for their services even though
they were unable to cure her.
Big difference from
many "Socialist Christians" who seem to think that doctors should
treat everyone out of the good ness of their hearts.
