Jesus Heals a Bleeding Woman When Jesus touched the coffin and said: “Young man. Get up I tell you”, the dead young man was brought back to life. And today we see that anyone who touches Jesus will be healed. I mean if the hand of the Lord Jesus touches our life or if we seek Him in our life, He will answer all the requests of our hearts. Jesus and His disciples spent some time on the shore of a lake. When they returned to Capernaum, they saw a large crowd waiting for Jesus. Jesus had no time for rest. He sat down on the shore and taught the crowds with patience and love and He helped all. Then a man named Jairus arrived. He went through the crowds and bowed down at Jesus’ feet. This man held a high position. He was an official in the local synagogue. “My daughter is dying. She is only twelve years old. Please come quickly and lay your hand on her. I am sure that she will be completely healed”. Jesus went with Jairus. The disciples and the crowd followed them. The people crowded Jesus from every side. They all desired to see what would happen. But suddenly, Jesus stopped! Jesus: “Who touched me?” Peter: “Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you”. Jesus: “Someone has touched me... for I knew it when power went out of me” “It was I sir... I have suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years. I have spent all I have on doctors, but no one was able to cure me. I heard amazing things about You O Jesus the Great Healer. So I came to you... while I was among the crowd, an idea came to my mind: If I could touch the edge of his cloak, I would be healed.” Then I drew near you O Jesus… and touched the edge of your cloak and I was healed immediately and the bleeding stopped. Lord I thank You…I thank You. Jesus gently said to her: “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace”. Then Jesus went to Jairus’ house and brought his daughter back to life.
