A Woman With Incurable Bleeding

A woman with incurable bleeding
came behind Jesus, reached out and feeling
     the hem of his garment
     did find at that instant
she had received miraculous healing.

Jesus then asked, “Who was it that touched me?”
“With the press of the crowd just how can we
     possibly know,” said Peter.
     Jesus now a bit weaker
said, “I felt that some power had just left me.”

Finding she couldn't remain hidden
the woman with trembling was smitten.
     To Jesus she explained
     just what she had gained.
“Your faith's made you well, you're forgiven.”

Luke 8.43-48
