Luke 8:43-48

FAITH…faith touches God and moves mountains. 

Just believe! Believe fully, with your whole mind, body and spirit, in His power to do everything! And then rest in His salvation. 

It is finished…shout it to the world!

Luke, a physician himself, notes that no doctors were able to heal her. An ongoing discharge and perpetual impurity would have made the woman an outcast. The woman might have feared that Jesus would be angry, since she did not ask permission—especially if touching Jesus made Him ceremonially unclean. Alternatively, her trembling may simply indicate an appropriate level of awe and reverence at the display of Jesus’ healing power. Faithlife Bible.

This condition not only would have been embarrassing, it would have made the woman unclean. It took great courage for her to seek out Jesus. Note that her action was not criticized, but commended. NKJ Bible.

Luke 8:43–48 (NKJV)

⁴³ Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, ⁴⁴ came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.” ⁴⁷ Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁸ And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

Matthew 9:20 (NKJV)

²⁰ And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.

Mark 5:30 (NKJV)

³⁰ And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”

Mark 6:56 (NKJV)

⁵⁶ Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.

Luke 5:13 (NKJV)

¹³ Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
