She had spent all her money going to doctors to make her better but her condition had only got worse. In Jewish law her illness, as it caused her to bleed, made her unclean, so she had to avoid going near other people or touching them when she was suffering. – Slide 5

Hoping to go unnoticed, she crept up behind Jesus. ‘If I just touch the hem of His garment, I will be healed,’ she thought. – Slide 6

The woman reached down and touched the edge of Jesus’ garment. Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt well. Note: On the four corners of the Jewish prayer shawl were four tassels, or tzitziyot. These tassels were to remind each Jewish man of his responsibility to fulfill God's commandments but also came to represent that man’s authority (Numbers 15:37-41). – Slide 7
