The woman with haemorrhage
"To Jesus this woman was not lost in the crowd; in her hour of need, to Him she was all that mattered. Jesus is like that for every one of us. [1]
The extraordinary, and the movingly beautiful thing, about this scene is that all at once amidst that crowd Jesus halted; and for the moment it seemed that for Him no one but that woman and nothing but her need existed. She was not simply a poor woman lost in the crowd; she was someone to whom Jesus gave the whole of Himself." [2]
