📚 Historical Context
In the first century during Jesus' ministry in Galilee, a woman who had endured a chronic bleeding condition for twelve years heard about Jesus' miraculous healings and decided to seek Him out. In Jewish culture, her illness rendered her ritually unclean, isolating her from community and religious practices as per Old Testament laws. Despite the pressing crowd around Jesus, she approached Him secretly, believing that merely touching His garment would bring her healing.
