TAEM Jesus story long samfala woman, samfala taem hem no iusim nem bilong olketa bat hem iusim datfala toktok “woman.” Olsem example, taem hem healim wanfala woman wea baksaed bilong hem bend for 18-fala year, hem sei long hem: “Woman, bae iu gud bak nao.” (Luke 13:10-13) Jesus iusim datfala toktok wea pipol long bifor savve iusim for showimaot respect, taem hem story long mami bilong hem. Bat narafala toktok hem stap wea olketa savve iusim wea showimaot respect winim datfala toktok “woman.”

Datfala toktok stap long Bible wea samfala iusim taem olketa story long samfala woman, wea showimaot olketa kaen and tingim feeling bilong olketa woman hia. Jesus iusim datfala toktok taem hem story long wanfala woman wea garem sik wea blood hem ran olowe for 12-fala year. Woman hia hem brekem Law taem hem kam for lukim Jesus bikos Law hem sei eniwan wea garem sik olsem hem no klin. Hem shud no kam klosap long pipol bikos long sik bilong hem. (Lev. 15:19-27) Bat woman hia barava needim help.

Woman hia wakabaot kam midol long olketa pipol, hem kam bihaen long Jesus and tasim kaleko bilong hem. Semtaem nomoa blood hia stop nao! Woman hia no laekem eniwan for savve wanem hem duim, bat Jesus sei: “Hu nao tasim mi?” (Luke 8:45-47) Then nomoa woman hia wea fraet and seksek tumas hem nildaon front long Jesus and “talem evri samting long hem.”—Mark 5:33.
