I. Human extremity the woman had suffered many years, and had spent all.

II. Human earnestness though much people thronged the Saviour, and she was weak, yet she found her way to the Healer.

III. Divine sensitiveness. Jesus Christ knew the difference between mere pressure and the touch of loving faith.

IV. Public confession. Thankfulness should always be courageous and explicit.

Mark 5:25-34

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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