Luke 8:46 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:46

And Jesus said, somebody hath touched me
Not in a common and accidental way, but with design, and in the strength of faith:

for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me:
for the cure of the person that had touched him, and that not without his knowledge and will; (See Gill on Luke 6:19).

Luke 8:46 In-Context

44 She came up behind Jesus, touched the edge of his clothes, and her bleeding stopped at once.

45 Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" After everyone denied touching him, Peter said, "Teacher, the people are crowding you and pressing against you."

46 Jesus said, "Someone touched me. I know power has gone out of me."

47 The woman saw that she couldn't hide. Trembling, she quickly bowed in front of him. There, in front of all the people, she told why she touched him and how she was cured at once.

48 Jesus told her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace!"
