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 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.

48 "Daughter," said He, "your faith has cured you; go, and be at peace."
