crowd, and said, "Who touched Me?" He
waited till the woman who was healed came
and declared herself She was already

and fall down before Him, and declare unto
Him before all the people for what cause
she had touched Him, and how she was
healed Immediately. And He must send
her raway with His word of blessing: ''Daugh.
