Mark 5:21-34
Mark’s next story can also be found in Matthew 9:20-22 and Luke 8:43-48. It is about the woman healed of her issue of continuously discharging blood for 12 years by touching Jesus’ garments.

Today as we read further into the beginnings of Jesus’ ministry, we find Jesus has gone to Capernaum with Simon, Andrew, James and John and is teaching in the synagogue. A man with an “unclean spirit”, which we would interpret as a demon, begins yelling at Jesus. The demon knows. He knows who Jesus is…
