This miracle is found in the New Testament. The scene shows five standing male figures, Christ is the leftmost; in front of them is a kneeling woman touching the hem of Christ's robe; all appear to be barefoot. In the background, there is a tree on the left side, to the right of which are a number of multistorey buildings.

Her faith was very great. Her garment was given to Jesus. She said "Touch my hem and I shall be healed". He touched it. Her fluid sickness stopped.
