Mark 5:29 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:25-34

The healing of the issue of blood. The magnifying power of faith. 'Twas but a touch, humanly speaking; yet was it a means of salvation to the believing soul. I. TRANSFORMING LITTLE THINGS INTO MEANS OF GRACE . 1 . Many touches , but only one touch of faith. This alone was effectual and saving. It is not human effort that saves, but the spirit of faith that lays hold of Christ. 2 . Only the hem of his garment. Yet as effectual as if she had touched the body... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:25-34

Salvation without money and without price. A figure of the spiritual experience of man. I. CONTRASTED WITH EARTHLY EXPEDIENTS OF SALVATION , These are expensive because: 1 . They waste the spiritual nature of man. 2 . They increase rather than diminish the evil. How forlorn the poor woman! How great the contrast with the "sleeping" child! Death in life is far worse than the natural death. It is not mourned for as the latter, and has all the added sorrow of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:25-34

The little of things of Christ great things for men. How great an idea this woman had of Christ! If there was any fault, it was that she believed in the power, but did not trust the love of Christ. Yet her humility, which was as manifest as her faith, and her shame may account in great part for the stealth and surreptitiousness of her action. I. MEANS OF GRACE ARE NOT TO BE DESPISED BECAUSE THEY APPEAR OUTWARDLY INSIGNIFICANT . Superstition, ritualism, etc.,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:25-34

The magic of faith. I. THE CURE OF THE SICK WOMAN RESEMBLES A MAGICAL CURE . Magical belief universally prevailed. The principle of it was, an operation on the nervous system through the wishes and the imagination. A representation in the mind of a cure is assumed, and acted on as a reality. So mysterious and great is the power of imagination over the mechanism of life, that cures might occasionally occur without any real cause external to the sufferer's mind. II. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 5:29

And straightway —St. Mark's favourite word— the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt ( ἔγνω )—literally, she knew — in her body that she was healed of her plague ( ὅτι ἴαται ἀπὸ τῆς μάστιγος ); literally, that she hath been healed of her scourge , The cure was instantaneous. read more

Mark 5:29-30. She felt in her body that she was healed of that plague Or distemper, with which she had been chastised; for this is the plain meaning of the word μαστιγος here used, which properly means a stroke, scourge, or correction. And Jesus turned about in the press, and said, Who touched, &c. The woman, having obtained her wish, would have retired unobserved: but Jesus, who had secretly performed the cure, by the concurring efficacy of his will, which sent forth the healing... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 5:21-43

59. Jairus’ daughter and a woman healed (Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:40-56)Back in the Jewish regions, a synagogue elder named Jairus asked Jesus to come and heal his seriously ill daughter. Seeing that the man had faith, Jesus set off for his house (Mark 5:21-24). On the way they were interrupted by a sick woman who believed that if she could only touch Jesus’ clothing she would be healed (Mark 5:25-29). Jesus knew that someone was seeking his help in this way, and did not want the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 5:29

And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.Imperfect as the woman's faith was, it proved enough; and herein is a mighty encouragement for all. If our redemption is dependent upon our full knowledge of all the truth concerning Christ and his holy religion, none of us shall ever be saved. A little faith, even though it be imperfect, acted upon is better than great faith unsupported by consistent deeds. read more
