28 *For she said*, *If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole*.

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.15

And *one of them*, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and *with a loud voice glorified God*,16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.17

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed?

27 And she said*, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table*.

And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.*
