Marcos 5
Phillips - The multitudes, with a well-developed appetite for miracles, came along, pushing and jostling, each one eager to be close so as to get the best view. Everyone knew Jairus and his little girl-at least everyone in Capernaum and all those who attended the synagogue. R C H
Marcos 5
Phillips notes that "there was about to be an interruption, one that would drive poor Jairus to distraction. Yet, the woman who caused the interruption was desperate too. Under the Mosaic Law, her affliction rendered her untouchable, if not an actual outcast (Lev. 12:4-8+; Lev 15:19-33+). Her disease was defiling and debilitating. It cut her off from society and from the sanctuary. And it had gone on for twelve years." (Exploring Mark)

Phillips comments "She thought that even His garments exuded power. Nor was she far wrong. On the Mount of Transfiguration His garments became white and glistening. They partook of His glory. Why should they not partake of His power? After all, our garments partake of our diseases. Who would want to don the dress of a leper? So this woman's faith soared. She stands alone in her expression of utter confidence in Christ." (Exploring Mark) Touch (681) see note on hapto/haptomai Garments (2440) see note on himation Get well (4982) see note on sozo used of the act of saving, either from a physically ill condition, or a spiritually evil state. Bill Gaither wrote the words of the famous song He touched Me in 1963 being inspired by Jesus' touch healing the leper (in Mark 1:41+). The words of the song are surely applicable to what happened to this nameless woman. He touched Me Shackled by a heavy burden 'Neath a load of guilt and shame Then the hand of Jesus touched me And now I am no longer the same. He touched, oh, he touched me And oh the joy that floods my soul! Something happened, and now I know He touched me, and made me whole. Since i've met this blessed savior Since he's cleansed and made me whole I will never cease to praise him I'll shout it while eternity rolls. Oh! he touched me! Oh! he touched me! He touched me! And Oh the joy that floods my soul! Something happened, and now I know He touched me, and made me whole. Mark 5:29 Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

Phillips remarks that this woman "had begun with fact. The Lord's power was so absolute, He was so mighty to save, that a touch would do, even a touch of His robe, even a touch of its hem. Fact had been followed by faith. She came! She touched! It worked! It was faith, her personal faith in Christ, that distinguished her from all of the others who thronged Him. They touched Him, too, but nothing happened to them. Even today, many people brush up against Him, but they go away the same as they came. Finally, she had feelings. Many people want the feelings to come first. Salvation, however, is not based on feelings. Feelings are the result of a transformed life. She knew, deep down inside her, that something wonderful had happened to her. She felt it in her body. She would never be the same again. (Exploring Mark) She was healed (2390)(iaomai) is used literally of deliverance from physical diseases and afflictions and so to make whole, restore to bodily health or heal. It is interesting that most of the NT uses in the Gospels refer to physical healing by Jesus (excepting the physical healing that resulted by release from demonic oppression). However in the OT (Lxx) uses iaomai refers primarily to spiritual healing by the Messiah (Isa 53:5, Isa 61:1, et al). Affliction (KJV = plague)(3148)(mastix) is a whip (used especially to urge on horses or laborers), a scourge (Acts 22:24 = Paul was going to "be examined by scourging"; Heb. 11:36; 1 Ki 12:11, 14; Pr. 26:3). Figuratively it referred to a condition of great distress, a distressing bodily condition and thus described torment, suffering, illness (Mk 3:10, Mk 5:29, Mk 5:34, Lk 7:21). In the Septuagint of Ps 32:10 it described a sinner's afflictions ("Many are the sorrows [Lxx = mastix] of the wicked").

Phillips - Only one person in that throng knew why He asked that, and she froze in her tracks. Her heart stood still. (Ibid) Hiebert - He asked not because of ignorance but to bring the one that touched into personal communion with the one touched. He wanted to give more than just physical healing. (Ibid) Later it was a common practice for the crowds to touch the hem of Christ’s garments and be healed, Mark recording that "Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured." (Mark 6:56+). Brian Bill - ‘Who touched my garments?’” The reminds me of the title of a book I saw recently: “Questions from the God who needs no Answers.” Jesus knew exactly who touched Him but He asked the question for the woman’s benefit. I can think of three reasons why he may have done so. To enable her to give testimony of what Jesus had done. Belief is personal but must also go public. That’s one of the purposes behind baptism – it gives us the opportunity to publicly identify with Jesus Christ. Luke 12:8: “And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God.” To build her belief and fortify her faith. To show the crowd that she is now clean and is to be accepted back into society. Her shame is now gone. Romans 10:11: “For the Scripture says, ‘Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.’” (Sermon) Hendriksen on the "interruption" by a woman - Again and again during his earthly ministry Jesus was interrupted; namely, in his speaking to a crowd (Luke 5:17-19), conversing with his disciples (Lk 12:12ff.), sleeping (Lk 8:22-24), praying (Mark 1:35 ff.), and traveling (Mark 10:46 ff.). The fact that none of these intrusions floor him (not for a moment is he at a loss as to what to do or what to say), shows that we are dealing here with the Son of man who is also the Son of God! What we would call an "interruption" is for him a springboard or take-off point for the utterance of a great saying or, as here, for the performance of a marvelous deed, revealing his power, wisdom, and love. What for us would have been a painful exigency is to him a golden opportunity. (BNTC-Lk) Touched (681) see above on hapto/haptomai Garments (2440) see note on himation Mark 5:31 And His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
Marcos 5
Phillips - His disciples were astonished. The Lord had been hardly able to walk toward poor Jairus's house because of the throng! What kind of a question was that? The Lord, however, wasn't talking to them. Between Him and them, disciples though they were, was a great gulf fixed. It had been the same when He talked to the woman at the well, when He commentated on the disappointed hopes of the rich young ruler, when mothers brought their little ones to Him, when He talked about the bread of heaven, and when they quarreled among themselves as to who was to be the greatest even with Calvary just hours ahead. It was the same when He told them that, far from being crowned, He was going to be crucified. Indeed, they seem to have understood very little at all. It is the same with us; we question His ways with us all of the time. (Exploring Mark) Brian Bill on the disciple's response - This shows once again that they just don’t get it. They are impatient and don’t understand what just happened. I’m often the same way. Pressing in (4818) see previous note on sunthlibo -

Phillips - Even as He looked, she was making up her mind. She had faith enough to come, but would she have courage enough to confess? Secret disciples are weak disciples. We are to "confess with [our] mouth the Lord Jesus" as well as "believe in [our] heart that God hath raised him from the dead" (Rom. 10:9). (Ibid) This woman reminds us of the four friends (Mk 2:3+) in Mk 2:5+ where Mark records "Seeing their faith." Looked around (4017)(periblepo from peri = around + blepo = to look) means literally to glance at or look around in various directions. All but one of the 7 NT uses describe Jesus looking around. In the NT periblepo is found only in the middle voice (reflexive voice) meaning to look round about oneself. NT uses - Mk. 3:5; Mk. 3:34; Mk. 5:32; Mk. 9:8; Mk. 10:23; Mk. 11:11; Lk. 6:10 The looks of Jesus “And He looked round about to see her that had done this thing.” The record in this Gospel of the looks of Christ is very remarkable. Let us gather them together and by their help think of Him whose meek, patient eye is still upon them that fear Him. I. The welcoming look of love and pity to those who seek Him. There are two recorded instances-that of our text and that of the young ruler. II. The Lord’s looks of love and warning to those who found Him. There are three instances of this class- Mark 3:34; Mark 8:32; Mark 10:23-27. The stooping love which claims us for His brethren, shines in His regard none the less tenderly though He reads and warns us with His eye. III. The Lord’s look of anger and pity on His opponents. This took place in the synagogue (Mark 3:1-5). IV. The look of the Lord on the profaned temple (Mark 11:11). How solemn that careful, all-comprehending scrutiny of all that He found there. (A. Maclaren, D. D.) Mark 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. Wuest And the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing that which had been done for her, came and fell down before Him, and told Him all the truth. NET Mark 5:33 Then the woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. GNT Mark 5:33 ἡ δὲ γυνὴ φοβηθεῖσα καὶ τρέμουσα, εἰδυῖα ὃ γέγονεν αὐτῇ, ἦλθεν καὶ προσέπεσεν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀλήθειαν. NLT Mark 5:33 Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and told him what she had done. KJV Mark 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. ESV Mark 5:33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. NIV Mark 5:33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. ASV Mark 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

NRS Mark 5:33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. YLT Mark 5:33 and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth, NAB Mark 5:33 The woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth. NJB Mark 5:33 Then the woman came forward, frightened and trembling because she knew what had happened to her, and she fell at his feet and told him the whole truth. GWN Mark 5:33 The woman trembled with fear. She knew what had happened to her. So she quickly bowed in front of him and told him the whole truth. BBE Mark 5:33 The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything. the woman: Mk 4:41 Lu 1:12,29 8:47 and told: Ps 30:2 66:16 Ps 103:2-5 116:12-14 Mark 5 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Parallel Passages: Matthew - no clear parallel Luke 8:47+ When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed. COMING CLEAN AFTER JESUS MADE HER CLEAN To "come clean" means to confess, to bring it into the open. But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her - Luke says "When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice." (Lk 8:47+) She had heard the question (Who touched Me?) and now felt His gaze and the emotion of fear set in and like many people do when she began to fear, she then began trembling (present tense). Aware describes her consciousness of what had happened and the fact that she could not longer hide it. Happened is in the perfect tense, indicating that it was a complete and a permanent cure.
Marcos 5
Phillips - She told Him the whole sad story. Twelve years of misery! Hopeless doctors! All of her money gone! Her condition-so unclean, so debilitating, so embarrassing, and so socially damning-was only getting worse and worse. She told how she had heard Him and seen Him at work. Her new hope! Her little scheme! And now she was completely cured! But now she had a new set of fears lest, having stolen her cure, it might be taken away from her. (Ibid) Steven
