A crowd was following Jesus so closely that they were pressing against him. One woman, Marian, was desperate to get close to Jesus. She thought, "If I can just touch the hem of his robe, I will be healed." She had been bleeding for 12 years, and had spent all her money on doctors. They were not able to help her. In fact she was worse. She threw herself forward and managed to touch his robe. What happened? Did Jesus notice?
