ABOUT THIS WORK

The Interpretation

Twelve years of suffering and spent resources brought her to the end of human help — and to the feet of Jesus, where true healing begins (Mark 5:25–26).

THE MOMENT

The open money purse signifies the cost of twelve years of seeking relief. The physicians surrounding her represent the many treatments she endured, while the scattered parchments suggest the limits of human knowledge exhausted in the search for a cure.

THE SCRIPTURE

Mark 5:25-26 (NKJV)
Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.
