Mark 5:31 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:31

And his disciples said unto him
Peter, and they that were with him; after the crowd that were about him denied that any of them had touched him; see ( Luke 8:45 ) ,

thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who touched
me?
They seem astonished at his question, and answer with some degree of warmth, and almost ready to charge it as weak: and impertinent; since, as there was such a crowd about him, pressing him on every side, he could not but be touched by many; and therefore to ask who touched him, when this was the case, they thought was a very strange and unnecessary question.
