The Hem of His Garment
Students may read Mark 5:21-34
A big crowd greeted Jesus’ boat when he landed near Capernaum. A man stepped out of the crowd and begged Jesus to come to his house to heal his daughter. Jesus agreed, but on the way something else happened. Jesus suddenly stopped and asked, “Who touched me?” A woman came forward and knelt at his feet. She believed if she touched even the hem of his garment that she would be healed. Jesus said, “Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace.”
Discussion Questions
The woman had suffered from continual bleeding for twelve years. She had seen many doctors, but none could heal her. What does this story tell us about the healing power of Jesus? Why did Jesus say her faith made her whole?
