Inside back cover: Healing of the Woman with the Issue of Blood, by James Jacques Joseph Tissot. A woman who suffered 12 years with an issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, thinking, “If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.” Jesus was aware of her and turned and said, “Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.” And she was “whole from that hour” (Matt. 9:20–22).
