when Jesus was on his way to see
a little girl who was sick and dying.

A lady had been sick for a very long time.
She had spent all her money going to lots
of doctors, but she had never got any better.
She prayed and asked God to help her.

all went to see Jesus for themselves.

‘But there are so many people and
Jesus is too busy to help me.’

The lady got really close to Jesus. She reached
out and touched the bottom of His coat. A
tingly feeling of His power went from Jesus into
her! She knew she was better straight away!

Jesus turned around. ‘Who touched me?’
He asked. Lots of people were close. It
could be anyone. Jesus said, ‘I felt healing
power go out of me and make someone well.’

Jesus smiled, ‘You are better because
you believed in Me so much.’
