Focus · Mark 5:25–34

A woman reached for Jesus after twelve years of suffering.

A summary of the passage, not a Bible quotation.
01 · In its setting

What was happening?

Mark says she had spent her resources on treatment and had grown worse. She touched Jesus’ garment in the crowd and was healed.

02 · Read carefully

What does the text show?

Jesus calls her “daughter” and speaks peace, bringing her into the open without shaming her. The story centers on His healing power, not a guarantee that every illness resolves with enough faith.

03 · Bring it into life

Consider your response

Treat those with chronic suffering with dignity and listen to their full story.

For prayer or conversation

Reflect together

  1. How long had she suffered and what had she tried?
  2. How did Jesus address her after the healing?
