Hierdie artikel ondersoek die reliëfverskyning van 'n naamlose vrou in die evangelie van Markus. The woman's interaction with Jesus adds depth to Mark's portrait of him and contributes to the ongoing revelation in Mark that Jesus is indeed the Son of God (Mk 1:1).

Yet, a careful reading reveals her stealth, desperation, courage and eloquence - all elements of character and, it turns out, of a faith focused on Jesus. The text identifies her in terms of her gender, illness, covenant status, prolonged suffering and penury. Chronically ill and probably dying, she thinks she is inconspicuous.
