Bible story: Touching the hem of his garment

Creative activities based on the Bible story of Touching the hem of his garment

In Matthew 9:18-26, Mark 5:21-43, and Luke 8:40-56, Jesus is approached by a synagogue leader named Jairus who begs him to come and heal his dying daughter. On his way to Jairus' house, a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years reaches out and touches Jesus' cloak. She believes that if she can just touch his garment, she will be healed. Immediately, she feels the bleeding stop and is healed.

Jesus commends her faith and tells her that her faith has made her well. He then continues on to Jairus' house and raises his daughter from the dead. The story of the bleeding woman highlights the power of faith and the importance of trusting in Jesus for healing.
