A spirit of infirmity. Seems that it is her pshychological attitude her total lack of faith her not trusting enough in the Lord so bent over herself she does not even sees Jesus. But Jesus calls her and touches her and she is healed.Not dissimilar from Abraham sitting in front of his tent bent over his won self till the voice of the Trinity awakes him. In disguise as the three men ask for food.If we all raised up our heads to take the Eucharist. It is being only a once in a while option inm many Protestant denoms has killed Faith. Depriving us of the need to take His Body.

For the righteous suffering is a trial like for Job that sternghtens the faith. Suffering undeserved. For the wicked ones they should fear the Lord and become fruitful and avail themselves of the warning: time to suck up the lymph Jesus has poured in and come back to life.
