Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 8:46

46. Somebody hath touched—yes, the multitude "thronged" and pressed Him—"they jostled against Him," but all involuntarily; they were merely carried along; but one, one only—"Somebody TOUCHED" HIM, with the conscious, voluntary, dependent touch of faith, reaching forth its hands expressly to have contact with Him.

47. declared . . . before all—This, though a great trial to the shrinking modesty of the believing woman, was just what Christ wanted in dragging her forth, her public testimony to the facts of her case—both her disease, with her abortive efforts at a cure, and the instantaneous and perfect relief which her touch of the Great Healer had brought her. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 8:44

The woman’s superstition has also created problems for some readers. However, God honored even stranger expressions of faith than hers (cf. Acts 5:14; Acts 19:11-12). Even though her knowledge was imperfect she believed that Jesus could heal her, and Jesus honored that faith. read more
