Mark 5:26-33

5:26 She had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet instead of getting better, she grew worse. 5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, ¹  5:28 for she kept saying, ²  “If only I touch his clothes, I will be healed.” ³  5:29 At once the bleeding stopped, ⁴  and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 5:30 Jesus knew at once that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?” 5:31 His disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing against you and you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 5:32 But ⁵  he looked around to see who had done it. 5:33 Then the woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

¹ tn The imperfect verb is here taken iteratively, for the context suggests that the woman was trying to muster up the courage to touch Jesus’ cloak.

² tn Grk “saved.”

¹ tn Grk “the flow of her blood dried up.”

¹ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
