Commentary

Commentary on Mark 5:30

Theological / Devotional

Knowing. Gr. epiginosko, “to know fully,” hence, “to recognize,” or “to perceive.” Jesus was conscious of what had happened the moment the woman touched His garment. The record does not state whether Jesus knew in advance that this woman would touch Him. The will of the Father answered the unspoken plea of the woman through Him. It should be remembered that all Christ’s miracles were “wrought by the power of God through the ministration of the angels” (DA 143).

Virtue. Gr. dunamis, literally, “power” (see on Mark 2:10; Luke 1:35). Dunamis is often translated “miracle,” as in Mark 9:39, or “mighty works,” as in ch. 6:2, 5, 14. With regard to the different terms used in the NT to refer to miracles see p. 208.

Who touched my clothes? Later, possibly as the result of this incident, many touched “the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole” (ch. 6:56).
