Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice,
The woman had been suffering from a bleeding condition for twelve years, which made her ceremonially unclean according to Levitical law (Leviticus 15:25-27). Her condition would have isolated her socially and religiously, making her desperate for healing. Her attempt to remain unnoticed reflects her awareness of the social stigma and the potential rebuke for touching Jesus, a rabbi, while in her unclean state. Her realization that she could not escape notice indicates the divine nature of Jesus' awareness and the futility of hiding from His presence.

came trembling and fell down before Him.
Her trembling signifies both fear and reverence. The act of falling down before Jesus is an expression of humility and submission, acknowledging His authority and power. This posture is often seen in scripture as a response to divine encounters (e.g.,Revelation 1:17). Her fear may also stem from the potential repercussions of her actions, yet her faith compels her to approach Jesus openly.

In the presence of all the people,
This public setting underscores the communal aspect of Jesus' ministry. The woman's healing is not just a personal miracle but a testimony to the crowd. The public nature of her confession and healing serves to glorify God and affirm Jesus' messianic identity. It also challenges societal norms by highlighting Jesus' compassion and willingness to engage with those considered unclean.

she explained why she had touched Him
Her explanation reveals her faith in Jesus' power to heal. By touching His garment, she believed she would be healed, demonstrating her understanding of Jesus' divine authority. This act of faith is reminiscent of other biblical instances where faith precedes healing (e.g.,Matthew 9:29). Her confession also serves as a witness to the crowd, illustrating the transformative power of faith in Christ.

and how she had immediately been healed.
The immediacy of her healing emphasizes the completeness and authority of Jesus' power over physical ailments. This instantaneous healing is a testament to Jesus' divine nature and fulfills Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah's healing ministry (Isaiah 53:4-5). It also prefigures the ultimate healing and restoration that Jesus offers through His death and resurrection. The woman's healing is a foretaste of the kingdom of God, where suffering and uncleanness are eradicated.

What Does Luke 8:47 Mean

Then the woman

Luke 8:47 opens by spotlighting “the woman” who had suffered a twelve-year hemorrhage (Luke 8:43). Her identity is personal to God—He sees individuals, not statistics. •Mark 5:25–26 parallels her long affliction, underscoring how desperate she was for relief. • God consistently singles out the overlooked: “You are precious in My sight” (Isaiah 43:4). By starting with “Then the woman,” Scripture reminds us that no one’s pain is invisible to the Lord.

seeing that she could not escape notice

When Jesus asked, “Who touched Me?” (Luke 8:45-46), He wasn’t seeking information but inviting disclosure. •Hebrews 4:13 affirms, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.” • Jonah tried to flee God’s notice (Jonah 1:3), yet the Lord found him; this woman recognizes the futility of hiding. • Our own attempts to remain anonymous before God will always give way to His loving omniscience.

came trembling and fell down before Him

Her trembling shows reverent awe, not mere fear. • Peter “fell at Jesus’ knees” after the miraculous catch (Luke 5:8), and the disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration “fell facedown” (Matthew 17:6). •Philippians 2:10 says every knee will bow; she models that posture voluntarily. • Reverence plus faith draws us closer rather than pushing us away.

In the presence of all the people

Confession goes public. • Jesus often works privately but wants testimonies shared openly: “Go home to your own people and tell them what the Lord has done” (Mark 5:19). •Matthew 10:32 promises, “Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father.” • Public witness strengthens community faith and confronts cultural taboos—especially significant for a ceremonially unclean woman (Leviticus 15:25-27).

she explained why she had touched Him

Her motive was faith-filled, not superstitious: “If I only touch His cloak, I will be healed” (Matthew 9:21). •Romans 10:10 highlights confession’s role: “For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.” •Psalm 107:2 urges the redeemed to “tell their story.” Sharing the “why” turns a private miracle into a public proclamation of Jesus’ power.

and how she had immediately been healed

She testifies to instantaneous wholeness—no gradual recovery, no medical regimen. •Luke 8:44 records, “Immediately her bleeding stopped.” •Acts 3:16 celebrates similar immediacy when the lame man’s ankles became strong “instantly.” • This validatesIsaiah 53:5: “By His stripes we are healed”—a promise realized literally in her body.

summary

Luke 8:47 illustrates the transition from hidden suffering to open worship. The woman’s story shows:

• God notices individuals.

• Nothing can be concealed from Jesus’ loving gaze.

• Reverent fear leads to bold confession.

• Public testimony glorifies God and edifies others.

• Jesus grants immediate, complete healing, proving His divine authority.

Her trembling approach ends in joyful proclamation, inviting every believer to move from secrecy to celebration over what Christ has done.
