The Healing Anointingspent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew
worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and
touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and
she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that VIRTUE [the
Greek says "power"] had gone out of him, turned him about in
the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude
thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done
in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee
whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
When the woman touched Jesus, it says that "virtue" went
out of Him. Actually, the Greek word is always translated
"power" elsewhere. Power went out of Jesus into her—there was
a transfer of power.
What caused that power to go out of Him into her? Her
faith. He said, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whol e. ..."
(v. 34).
We see a similar passage in the 14th chapter of Matthew's
Gospel:
MATTHEW 14:34-36
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they
sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him
all that were diseased;
36 And besought him THAT THEY MIGHT ONLY TOUCH
THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT: and as many as touched were
made perfectly whole.
Although this does not say that power went out of Jesus, it
strongly infers it, because we know what happened in Mark 5.
