Luke 8:43 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:43

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years
The Persic version reads, "there was a woman in that city" in the city of Capernaum; (See Gill on Matthew 9:20).

Which had spent all her living upon physicians;
she had applied to one physician and another, and had consumed all her substance in this way:

neither could be healed of any;
though she had followed the directions and prescriptions of many, who pretended they were able to cure her; (See Gill on Mark 5:26).

Luke 8:43 In-Context

41 Then there came a man named Ya'ir who was president of the synagogue. Falling at Yeshua's feet, he pleaded with him to come to his house;

42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old; and she was dying. As he went, with the crowds on every side virtually choking him,

43 a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone,

44 came up behind him and touched the tzitzit on his robe; instantly her hemorrhaging stopped.

45 Yeshua asked, "Who touched me?" When they all denied doing it, Kefa said, "Rabbi! The crowds are hemming you in and jostling you!"
