1. Faith to just touch (40-44)

When Jesus came back to his home region, a huge crowd was waiting for him. But one case got his attention-a synagogue leader whose daughter was dying. Jesus set out for Jairus' house with the crowds almost crushing him. Then, a woman with an incurable bleeding problem slipped up behind Jesus and, with desperate faith, touched the edge of his cloak. Immediately, she knew her condition was healed.

2. Jesus praises her faith (45-48)

When Jesus felt power go out from him, he determined to find the person who had such faith. He persistently asked, "Who touched me?" until the woman came forward and fell at Jesus' feet. She thought he would rebuke her, but he praised her as an example of someone who has faith to be healed. Then he blessed her with peace, so she could have salvation in her heart as well. Coming to Jesus by any means is an expression of faith that receives Jesus' praise.
