In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.…

Luke 8
1. Women minister unto Jesus of their own means.
4. Jesus, after he had preached from place to place,
9. explains the parable of the sower,
16. and the candle;
19. declares who are his mother, and brothers;
22. rebukes the winds;
26. casts the legion of demons out of the man into the herd of pigs;
37. is rejected by the Gadarenes;
43. heals the woman of her bleeding;
49. and raises Jairus's daughter from death.














But Jesus declared
In this passage, Jesus is in the midst of a crowd, highlighting His accessibility and the people's eagerness to be near Him. His declaration is significant as it demonstrates His awareness and authority. This moment is a turning point in the narrative, emphasizing Jesus' role as a teacher and healer. The use of "declared" suggests a public announcement, drawing attention to the importance of the event.

Someone touched Me
The phrase indicates Jesus' sensitivity to the faith and needs of individuals, even in a large crowd. This touch was not accidental but intentional, reflecting the woman's faith and desperation. In the cultural context, touching a rabbi or teacher was not common, especially for a woman, which underscores the boldness of her action. This moment also highlights the personal nature of Jesus' ministry, where individual faith is recognized and rewarded.

for I know that power has gone out from Me
This statement reveals Jesus' divine nature and the reality of His healing power. The concept of power going out from Him suggests a tangible transfer of divine energy, which is unique to Jesus as the Son of God. It connects to other instances in the Gospels where Jesus heals through touch or command, demonstrating His authority over physical ailments. This power is not diminished by being shared, indicating the infinite nature of His divine resources. Theologically, it points to Jesus as the source of life and healing, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah bringing restoration and wholeness.

Teaching Points
The Power of Faith
The woman's faith in reaching out to Jesus is a powerful example of how faith can lead to divine intervention.

Jesus' Awareness

The Nature of Divine Power

Personal Relationship with Christ
This passage encourages believers to seek a personal encounter with Jesus, trusting in His power and willingness to respond.

The Importance of Confession
The woman's eventual confession of her act of faith is a reminder of the importance of acknowledging Jesus' work in our lives.(46) Somebody hath touched me.--What St. Mark gives historically as a fact, St. Luke reports as uttered by our Lord Himself.

That virtue is gone out of me.--See Note on Mark 5:30. To St. Luke the word was probably familiar as a technical term.
