Mark 5:31 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:31

And his disciples said unto him
Peter, and they that were with him; after the crowd that were about him denied that any of them had touched him; see ( Luke 8:45 ) ,

thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who touched
me?
They seem astonished at his question, and answer with some degree of warmth, and almost ready to charge it as weak: and impertinent; since, as there was such a crowd about him, pressing him on every side, he could not but be touched by many; and therefore to ask who touched him, when this was the case, they thought was a very strange and unnecessary question.

Mark 5:31 In-Context

29 In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured.

30 Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone from within Him, turned round in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

31 "You see the multitude pressing you on all sides," His disciples exclaimed, "and yet you ask, `Who touched me?'"

32 But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this,

33 until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet, and told Him all the truth.
