Our visit to Magdala was a highlight of the trip. I will share more about this amazing site in my next blog. The story surrounding this wonderful painting is definitely worth watching. Please enjoy!
'Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side
of the lake, where a large crowd gathered around him on the
shore. Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was
Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet, pleading
fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please
come and lay your hands on her; heal her so she can live.”
Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding
around him. A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years
with constant bleeding. She had suffered a great deal from many
doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had
to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had
gotten worse. She had heard about Jesus, so she came up
behind him through the crowd and touched his robe. For she
thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” I
mmediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body
that she had been healed of her terrible condition. Jesus realized
at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned
around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?” His
disciples said to him, “Look at this crowd pressing around you.
How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?’” Then the frightened
woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her,
came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she
had done. But he kept on looking around to see who had done it.
And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go
in peace. Your suffering is over.” '
