Luke 8:45 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:45

And Jesus said, who touched me?
&c.] This he said, not as ignorant of the person that had done it, but in order to discover her to the people, and the cure she had received, as well as her faith; (See Gill on Mark 5:30).

When all denied;
both the disciples and the multitude, as many as were near him, and who might be thought to have done it; all excepting the woman, who afterwards came and declared it; for it is very likely, that as soon as she had touched his garment, and got her cure, she drew further off:

Peter, and they that were with him;
the rest of the disciples, who were in company together, as appears from ( Mark 5:31 )

Said, Master, the multitude throng thee, and press thee, and sayest
thou, who touched me?
or "my garment", as the Ethiopic version reads; (See Gill on Mark 5:31).

Luke 8:45 In-Context

43 And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her--

44 came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.

45 "Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on you."

46 "Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has gone out from me."

47 Then the woman, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.
