Bible verse
She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
Matthew 9:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 9.
17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
18 While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.
20 Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.
21 She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.
23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.
25 After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
