There is much to understand about this. In scripture there is always a message. The message here is like all of us, we try everything. And, then, as a last result we realize we have to go to the head of the stream where we can get a good 'cold refreshing, everlasting drink of water.' That is what this Woman did! And, behold, a woman ... - This disease was by the Jews reckoned unclean Lev_15:25, and the woman was therefore unwilling to make personal application to Jesus, or even to touch his person. The disease was regarded as incurable. She had expended all her property, and grew worse, Mar 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, And, it was a 'big secret'. She could not tell anyone. Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
Lev 15:25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
Mar 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. Mar_5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? Luk_8:45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? Luk_8:46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. Notice in Mar 5:30 Jesus said "[W]ho touched my clothes"? And, in Luk 8:46 Jesus said "[W]ho touched me"? Isn't that beautiful? Most read this, and never notice! The Woman with the issue of blood knew there was power in the name. She touched YHWH which was woven on the beads that hung from the prayer shawl. Notice Jesus, "[t]urned him about in the press"! What did Jesus 'turn him about in the press'! Jesus 'turned God' (himself) about! Isn't that beautiful? Notice how big a secret it was for the Woman with the issue of blood! Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. That Woman, (bless her heart) she knew that she could not let anyone know, if she had touched anyone, they would have stoned her for touching them. There would have been a purification period that they would have had to go thru! That Woman would have been hunkered down looking for the glistening colors used to embroidery the beads for YHWh they would have been pronounced like that of a black crow with the sun glistening off of his feathers. Many never see that the discrimination between who touched me, and who touched my clothes, are no discrimination at all!
Amen
