What does the woman with the issue of blood teach about faith?

Vince Baker Ministries · Based on the teachings of Vince Baker

Read the passages in context

Mark tells this story inside the account of Jairus and his daughter. One comes as a named synagogue leader, while the other is unnamed. Jesus gives attention to both. The interruption matters because it shows that the crowd and the urgency of another request do not erase this woman’s need.

• Mark 5:21–43
• Luke 8:43–48

Put the reading into practice

Read the account aloud and stop at Jesus’ question about who touched Him. Think about what it cost the woman to tell the truth in public. If you lead a prayer group, let people choose what they share and honor their choice afterward.
