Luke 8:46

Luke 8:46

44 came from behind and ^atouched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” When all denied it, Peter¹ and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You,² and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived ^apower 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,¹ be of good cheer; ^ayour faith has made you well. ^bGo in peace.”

<< Luke 8:45

Luke 8:47 >>

I perceive that virtue - , Divine or miraculous power. This Divine emanation did not proceed always from Christ, as necessarily as odours do from plants, for then all who touched him must have been equally partakers of it. Of the many that touched him, this woman and none else received this Divine virtue; and why? Because she came in faith. Faith alone attracts and receives the energetic influence of God at all times. There would be more miracles, at least of spiritual healing, were there more faith among those who are called believers.
