Luke 6:19

19 et omnis turba quaerebant eum tangere quia virtus de illo exiebat et sanabat omnes

Luke 6:19 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:19

And the whole multitude sought to touch him
That is, the multitude of those that were sick and possessed; for they were persuaded, and they found it true by experience, that if they could but touch any part of his body, or his garments, they should be cured of their diseases:

for there went virtue out of him;
in great abundance, as water from a fountain; without his speaking a word, or using any gesture, such as laying his hands on them:

and they were healed;
in this secret and private way, of whatsoever disease they were afflicted with.

Luke 6:19 In-Context

17 et descendens cum illis stetit in loco campestri et turba discipulorum eius et multitudo copiosa plebis ab omni Iudaea et Hierusalem et maritimae Tyri et Sidonis

18 qui venerunt ut audirent eum et sanarentur a languoribus suis et qui vexabantur ab spiritibus inmundis curabantur

19 et omnis turba quaerebant eum tangere quia virtus de illo exiebat et sanabat omnes

20 et ipse elevatis oculis in discipulos suos dicebat beati pauperes quia vestrum est regnum Dei

21 beati qui nunc esuritis quia saturabimini beati qui nunc fletis quia ridebitis
