The Bleeding Woman: Twelve Years Until a Word
A guided reading of Mark 5
Twelve scenes about a woman who bled for twelve years, the Old Testament purity laws that kept her out of the Temple and out of ordinary embrace, the hem of a garment she reached for from behind, a Hebrew word for fringes almost no one notices, and the only time in the Synoptic Gospels that Jesus addressed someone as *daughter* in the direct vocative.
This journey is read in full inside Hesed.
