The context is a large crowd pressing around Him, highlighting His popularity and the desperation of the people seeking His miracles. Jesus's question is significant because it demonstrates His awareness of individual faith amidst a multitude. It also underscores His divine knowledge and the personal nature of His ministry. This moment foreshadows the personal relationship believers can have with Christ, as He is aware of each person's needs and faith. The question also sets the stage for the revelation of the woman's faith, who had been suffering from a bleeding condition for twelve years, symbolizing the power of faith to reach out and receive healing from Jesus. But they all denied it.
The crowd's denial reflects the anonymity and fear often associated with approaching Jesus. It also highlights the human tendency to avoid drawing attention to oneself, especially in a public setting. This denial can be seen as a contrast to the woman's bold faith, as she eventually comes forward to confess. The crowd's reaction is typical of human nature, where people may be hesitant to admit their actions or faith publicly. This moment emphasizes the importance of personal confession and the courage it takes to step forward in faith. “Master,” said Peter,
Peter, often the spokesperson for the disciples, addresses Jesus with respect, using the term "Master." This title acknowledges Jesus's authority and leadership among the disciples. Peter's role in this narrative is consistent with his character throughout the Gospels, where he frequently speaks up and acts impulsively. His use of "Master" also reflects the disciples' growing understanding of Jesus's identity, though they do not yet fully comprehend His divine nature. This interaction is part of Peter's journey of faith, which will culminate in his eventual recognition of Jesus as the Christ. “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
Peter's observation points to the physical reality of the situation, with the crowd pressing in on Jesus. This detail provides a vivid picture of the scene, emphasizing the chaos and urgency surrounding Jesus's ministry. The crowd's behavior is typical of the time, as people sought physical proximity to Jesus, hoping for healing or a miracle. This pressing crowd can be seen as a metaphor for the world's demands on Jesus, yet He remains focused on individual needs. The scene also highlights the contrast between the physical touch of the crowd and the faith-filled touch of the woman, which drew power from Jesus. This distinction underscores the theme of faith as the key to accessing Jesus's healing and power. Persons / Places / Events 1. JesusCentral figure in the passage, demonstrating His divine awareness and compassion. 2. PeterOne of Jesus' closest disciples, often acting as a spokesperson for the group. 3. The CrowdRepresents the multitude of people following Jesus, eager to be near Him. 4. The Woman with the Issue of BloodThough not mentioned in this specific verse, she is the one who touched Jesus, seeking healing. 5. The EventOccurs as Jesus is on His way to heal Jairus' daughter, highlighting His power and authority over sickness. Teaching Points Divine AwarenessJesus is aware of our needs even in the midst of a crowd. He knows when we reach out to Him in faith. Faith in ActionThe woman's touch was an act of faith. Our faith should lead us to actively seek Jesus, trusting in His power to heal and restore. Personal RelationshipJesus' question, "Who touched Me?" emphasizes His desire for a personal relationship with each believer, not just a superficial following. The Role of the CommunityThe crowd represents the church community. While it can sometimes obscure individual needs, it also provides a context for faith to be expressed and witnessed. Acknowledging Jesus' PowerLike Peter, we may sometimes underestimate Jesus' power and presence. We should be mindful of His work in our lives and the lives of others. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Luke 8
Why did Peter sever Malchus's ear?
Why do the accounts of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances differ significantly in who saw him first and where?
What was the nature of Jesus' physical body?
Why does Luke 16:1-8 seem to commend the unjust steward's dishonest tactics, potentially endorsing unethical behavior?(45) Master.--The same word as in Luke 8:24, where see Note. Verse 45. - Whotouched me? The Master's words here and the statement of ver. 46, "For I perceive that virtue is gone out of me," tell us something of the earnestness and faith of the suppliant. Many, as Peter said, in that crowd were touching Jesus as they pressed round him to look on his face or to listen to his words, but of them all none save this poor sufferer "touched" him in the true deep sense of touching, with the fixed idea that contact with his blessed Person would benefit or heal them.
