Mat 9:20-22 | MHM | STEP | v. 20–21 : On the way, a woman who had been suffering from a bleeding illness for twelve years approached Jesus. She had spent all her money on doctors but was not healed. Her sickness made her weak and, according to Jewish law, ceremonially unclean, so she could not go to the temple. She believed that if she could just touch the edge of Jesus’ garment, she would be healed. Her faith was mixed with some misunderstanding, but she trusted in Jesus’ power. Even a small, humble faith in Christ is valuable.

v. 22: Jesus turned and saw the woman. He called her "Daughter" and told her to take courage, because her faith had made her well. Jesus did not want her to leave quietly; he wanted to encourage her and honor her faith. He gave her comfort and declared her healed, both physically and spiritually. When we come to Jesus in faith, he sees us, knows us, and gives us peace.
