Context: Mark 5
26And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

Commentary
Mark 5 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of faith and the power of Jesus. It begins with Jesus and his disciples crossing the Sea of Galilee and arriving in the region of the Gerasenes. Here, Jesus encounters a man possessed by an unclean spirit. The man is described as living among the tombs, and he is so violent that no one can pass by him. Jesus commands the unclean spirit to come out of the man, and it does so, leaving the man in peace.
