John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 5:30

And Jesus immediately knowing in himself ,.... As soon as ever the woman had touched his garments, and had a cure, Christ, who knew all things in his Spirit, or divine nature, that dwelt in him, knew what was done, that the woman had touched him, and was healed thereby; though, as not without his knowledge, so neither without his will, and entirely by his power: that virtue was gone out of him ; to the healing of some person, though not at all to the diminution of that virtue, which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 5:31

And his disciples said unto him ,.... Peter, and they that were with him; after the crowd that were about him denied that any of them had touched him; see Luke 8:45 , thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who touched me ? They seem astonished at his question, and answer with some degree of warmth, and almost ready to charge it as weak: and impertinent; since, as there was such a crowd about him, pressing him on every side, he could not but be touched by many; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 5:32

And he looked round about ,.... The press and throng of people, on every side of him; though he knew very well where she stood, who had done the thing, and had received the cure: to see her that had done this thing ; how she looked, and whether her countenance, and the confusion she was thrown into by the question, would not betray her; though he himself wanted no such signs, by which to discover her. Christ, as God, being omniscient, knew who she was, and where she was; and, as man, did... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 5:33

But the woman fearing and trembling ,.... Lest she should be reproved, and suffer the penalties of the law, for appearing in public during the time of her uncleanness, Leviticus 15:25 , or that Christ was displeased with her, for her taking an improper method to obtain her cure; or lest he should recall it, or was angry with her for concealing it, and attempting to go away undiscovered, and without so much as thanking him for it. After conversion, after souls have laid hold on Christ for... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 5:34

And he said unto her, daughter ,.... Instead of reproving her, or showing any anger, or resentment at her, as she feared, he speaks to her in a very soft, kind, and tender manner, and called her "daughter", which was not only an expression of affection and civility, this being an affable, courteous way of speaking used by the Jews; but might signify her spiritual relation through him, being a child of God by adopting grace. She was a daughter of Abraham by natural descent, as was the woman... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:26

Had suffered many things of many physicians, - and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse - No person will wonder at this account, when he considers the therapeutics of the Jewish physicians in reference to hemorrhages, especially of the kind with which this woman was afflicted. Rabbi Jochanan says: "Take of gum Alexandria, of alum, and of crocus hortensis, the weight of a zuzee each; let them be bruised together, and given in wine to the woman that hath an issue of blood. But if this... read more

Came in the press behind - She had formed her resolution in faith, she executes it, notwithstanding her weakness, etc., with courage; and now she finds it crowned with success. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 5:31

Thou seest the multitude thronging then, etc. - Many touch Jesus who are not healed by him: the reason is, they do it not by faith, through a sense of their wants, and a conviction of his ability and willingness to save them. Faith conveys the virtue of Christ into the soul, and spiritual health is the immediate consequence of this received virtue. read more
