24. Jesus went with Jairus. Many people followed along and kept crowding around.
25. In the crowd was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years.
26. She had gone to many doctors, and they had not done anything except cause her a lot of pain. She had paid them all the money she had. But instead of getting better, she only got worse.
