Mark 5:29

Mark 5:29

27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and ^atouched His garment.

28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the¹ affliction.

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

31 But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

She felt in her body (egnw tw swmati). She knew, the verb means. She said to herself,

I am healed (iamai). Iatai retains the perfect passive in the indirect discourse. It was a vivid moment of joy for her. The plague (mastigov) or scourge was a whip used in flagellations as on Paul to find out his guilt (Acts 22:24, cf. Hebrews 11:26). It is an old word that was used for afflictions regarded as a scourge from God. See already on Mark 3:10.
