Luke 8:43-56
A woman suffering from bleeding for 12 years, who had spent all she had on doctors yet could not be healed by any,approached from behind and touched the tassel of His robe. Instantly her bleeding stopped.“ Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said,“ Master, the crowds are hemming You in and pressing against You.”“ Someone did touch Me,” said Jesus.“ I know that power has gone out from Me.”When the woman saw that she was discovered, she came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she declared the reason she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.“ Daughter,” He said to her,“ your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”While He was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader’s house, saying,“ Your daughter is dead. Don’t bother the Teacher anymore.”When Jesus heard it, He answered him,“ Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be made well.”After He came to the house, He let no one enter with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.Everyone was crying and mourning for her. But He said,“ Stop crying, for she is not dead but asleep.”They started laughing at Him, because they knew she was dead.So He took her by the hand and called out,“ Child, get up!”Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then He gave orders that she be given something to eat.Her parents were astounded, but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.

Mark 5:25-43
A woman suffering from bleeding for 12 yearshad endured much under many doctors. She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse.Having heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His robe.For she said,“ If I can just touch His robes, I’ll be made well!”Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was cured of her affliction.At once Jesus realized in Himself that power had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd and said,“ Who touched My robes?”His disciples said to Him,“ You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say,‘ Who touched Me?’”So He was looking around to see who had done this.Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came with fear and trembling, fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth.“ Daughter,” He said to her,“ your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be free from your affliction.”While He was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said,“ Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?”But when Jesus overheard what was said, He told the synagogue leader,“ Don’t be afraid. Only believe.”He did not let anyone accompany Him except Peter, James, and John, James’s brother.They came to the leader’s house, and He saw a commotion— people weeping and wailing loudly.He went in and said to them,“ Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.”They started laughing at Him, but He put them all outside. He took the child’s father, mother, and those who were with Him, and entered the place where the child was.Then He took the child by the hand and said to her,“ Talitha koum!”( which is translated,“ Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).Immediately the girl got up and began to walk.( She was 12 years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.Then He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this and said that she should be given something to eat.

Leviticus 15:25-33
“ When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days, though it is not the time of her menstruation, or if she has a discharge beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, as she is during the days of her menstruation.Any bed she lies on during the days of her discharge will be like her bed during menstrual impurity; any furniture she sits on will be unclean as in her menstrual period.Everyone who touches them will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.When she is cured of her discharge, she is to count seven days, and after that she will be clean.On the eighth day she must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.The priest is to sacrifice one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her before the Lord because of her unclean discharge.“ You must keep the Israelites from their uncleanness, so that they do not die by defiling My tabernacle that is among them.This is the law for someone with a discharge: a man who has an emission of semen, becoming unclean by it;a woman who is in her menstrual period; anyone who has a discharge, whether male or female; and a man who sleeps with an unclean woman.”
