Is The Hemorrhoissa a real miracle?

UnprovenClaimed — the record can't carry it
Miracles Jar rates The Hemorrhoissa: Healing of the Woman with the Issue of Blood Unproven. Too thin a record to say either way. Two scales drive that verdict: how extraordinary it would be if it truly happened — naturally explained — and how strong the evidence is — thinly documented.
How miraculous, if true
Naturally explained
Does it break the laws of nature — if it really happened?

Common questions
- Is The Hemorrhoissa real or fake?
- Miracles Jar's verdict is Unproven: claimed — the record can't carry it. Too thin a record to say either way. On the evidence, the record is thinly documented.
- Has The Hemorrhoissa been debunked?
- No — but it has not been confirmed either. The record is too thin to carry the claim in either direction. The natural alternative most often raised is spontaneous remission & the body's own recovery.
- What is the evidence for The Hemorrhoissa?
- Miracles Jar weighs 3 sources for this case. Points that support the claim: Triple attestation in three Gospels suggests the tradition circulated early and widely; and The 'power going out' detail in Mark is theologically awkward and unlikely to be invented. Points that cut against it: Woman is unnamed, town is unspecified, and no corroborating source exists outside the Gospels; and The narrative serves multiple theological functions (faith, purity boundaries, interruption of greater miracle), suggesting literary shaping.
- What is the natural explanation for The Hemorrhoissa?
- The leading natural account is spontaneous remission & the body's own recovery. Diseases sometimes resolve without treatment, or despite it. “Spontaneous” rarely means “no mechanism” — more often it means a mechanism we are only beginning to instrument. The full breakdown shows where that explanation holds — and where it stops.
- When and where did The Hemorrhoissa happen?
- It is said to have occurred c. 28-30 CE (written c. 65-85 CE) in Galilee (unspecified town).
