"God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power who went about doing good and healing all" (Ac 10:38). People came to him for healing and one woman "when she heard about Jesus came behind Him in the crowd" (Mk 5:27). She wanted her health back, and afterwards explained to them "the whole truth" (:33). She had "had a flow of blood for twelve years" (:25) and "from many physicians had spent all that she had" (:26) and had "grown worse" (:26). In her weakened condition it seems that she might have given up by then. But she said, "'If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well'" (:28). She did so and "immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt she was healed" (:29). Jesus responded, "'Who touched My clothes?'" (:30). God's "power had gone out of him" (:30). Jesus had said, "'It is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work" (Jn 14:10). He had also said "'the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees the Father doing'" (Mk 5:19). He was faced away from her and "turned around in the crowd" (5:30) so it was not a deliberate confrontation. Consequently he hold her, "'Your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction'" (:34). Was the faith based upon her perseverance or the strength of her belief? In one crowded meeting "the power of the Lord was present to heal them" (Lk 5:17) but no one was healed except a paralyzed man.
