Mark 5
1. Jesus delivering the possessed of the legion of demons,
13. they enter into the pigs.
22. He is entreated by Jairus to go and heal his daughter.
25. He heals the woman subject to bleeding,
35. and raises Jairus' daughter from death.














Then the woman
This phrase introduces us to a pivotal character in this narrative. The Greek word for "woman" here is "γυνή" (gynē), which can denote a female of any age. In the context of Mark 5, this woman had been suffering from a bleeding condition for twelve years. Her identity as "the woman" highlights her anonymity and marginalization in society due to her condition, which rendered her ceremonially unclean according to Jewish law (Leviticus 15:25-27). Her approach to Jesus signifies a bold step of faith and desperation, breaking social and religious norms to seek healing.

knowing what had happened to her
The Greek word for "knowing" is "εἰδυῖα" (eiduiā), which implies a deep, personal understanding or realization. This knowledge was not just intellectual but experiential; she felt the immediate change in her body. This phrase underscores the miraculous nature of her healing, as she was instantly aware of the transformation. It also reflects the personal encounter with Jesus, where His power is not abstract but tangibly experienced in her life.

came and fell at His feet
The act of coming and falling at Jesus' feet is significant. The Greek verb "ἔπεσεν" (epesen) for "fell" suggests an act of worship, submission, and reverence. In the cultural context, falling at someone's feet was a gesture of humility and supplication. This woman's action demonstrates her acknowledgment of Jesus' authority and divinity. It is a physical manifestation of her faith and gratitude, recognizing Jesus as the source of her healing.

trembling with fear
The Greek word "τρέμουσα" (tremousa) for "trembling" conveys a sense of awe and reverence, mixed with fear. This fear is not merely terror but a profound respect for the divine power she has just encountered. Her trembling reflects the overwhelming nature of her experience, as she stands before the One who has authority over sickness and impurity. It is a reminder of the holiness of God and the appropriate human response to His presence.

and told Him the whole truth
The phrase "the whole truth" in Greek is "πᾶσαν τὴν ἀλήθειαν" (pasan tēn alētheian). This indicates a complete and honest confession. The woman does not hold back any details, sharing her entire account with Jesus. This act of truth-telling is significant in the biblical narrative, as it represents transparency and vulnerability before God. It is an acknowledgment of her past suffering and her present healing, a testimony to the transformative power of Jesus. Her confession is an integral part of her faith journey, illustrating the importance of honesty in our relationship with God.

(33) The woman fearing and trembling.--The whole description is fuller than that in St. Matthew.

Verse 33. - The woman fearing and trembling, etc. Every word in this verse is expressive. It was her own act. She seemed to herself as though without permission she had stolen a blessing from Christ; and so she could hardly venture to hope that the faith which had prompted her would be accepted. Hence her fear and terror, and her free and full confession. We thus see the gentleness of Christ in his dealings with us. Perhaps the woman had intended to escape, satisfied with a temporal benefit, which would hardly have been a blessing at all, if she had been suffered to carry it away without acknowledgment. But this her loving Saviour would not permit her to do. It was the crisis of her spiritual life. It was necessary that all around should know of the gift which she had endeavored to snatch in secret. Our Lord might have demanded from her this public confession of her faith beforehand. But, in his mercy, he made the way easy to her. The lesson, however, must not be forgotten, that it is not enough to believe with the heart. The lips must do their part, and "with the mouth confession must be made unto salvation."
