d when he was going,
the multitudes thronged him. [8:43]And a woman having a hemorrhage of
twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not
be cured by any one, [8:44]coming up behind, touched the fringe of his
garment, and immediately her flow of blood was stopped. [8:45] And
Jesus said, Who touched me? And all denying, Peter and those with him
said, Master, the multitudes press upon and throng you, and do you say,
Who touched me? [8:46]And Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I
perceived a power going from me. [8:47]And the woman seeing that she
was not concealed, came trembling, and falling down related to him in
the presence of all the people for what cause she had touched him, and
how she was immediately cured. [8:48]And he said to her, Daughter, your
faith has cured you; go in peace.

returned, and she arose immediately. And he commanded food to be given
her. [8:56]And her parents were astonished; and he commanded them to
tell no one what was done.

CONFESSION, ETC.

1 [9:1]AND calling together the twelve, he gave them power and
authority over all demons, and to cure diseases, [9:2]and sent them out
to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to cure the sick. [9:3]And he said
to them, Take for the way neither a staff nor a provision sack, nor
bread, nor silver, and have not two coats apiece. [9:4]And into
whatever house you enter, there remain and thence depart. [9:5]And
whoever does not receive you, when you go out of that city shake off
the dust from your feet for a testimony to them. [9:6]And they went out
and passed through the villages, everywhere proclaiming the good news
and performing cures.
