She began 317 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:17.600 line:15% to hear things from people 318 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.720 line:15% that were being miraculously touched by Jesus. 319 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.200 line:15% And of course, this makes me think 320 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:25.600 line:15% of Romans 10:17, which says - Faith comes 321 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.440 line:15% by hearing and hearing by the word of God. 322 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.120 line:15% And as this woman stood there hearing and hearing 323 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:34.000 line:15% and hearing all these things that were happening to people 324 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.600 line:15% that were touched by Jesus, faith began 325 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:41.200 line:15% to rise in her heart. And that is why we read - 326 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.920 line:15% that she came in the press behind and touched his garment. 327 00:14:44.920 --> 00:14:48.160 line:15% The word press, the Greek word ochlos, the huge, 328 00:14:48.160 --> 00:14:49.720 line:15% huge multitude of people, 329 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.720 line:15% but she waited until they had passed by. 330 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.120 line:15% And the verse says she came behind. 331 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:59.360 line:15% And this word behind really means from the backside. 332 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.400 line:15% And she touched his garment. 333 00:15:01.400 --> 00:15:04.280 line:15% This word touched, the Greek word, haptomai. 334 00:15:04.280 --> 00:15:05.920 line:15% It's not a light touch, 335 00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:09.200 line:15% but it's a firm grabbing hold of his garment. 336 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.760 line:15% And the word garment here describes his robe. 337 00:15:11.760 --> 00:15:13.640 line:15% Now, that's an interesting point. 338 00:15:13.640 --> 00:15:16.240 line:15% She didn't want to physically touch Jesus 339 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.480 line:15% because if she touched him, according to the law, 340 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.840 line:15% then Jesus would become unclean. 341 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.200 line:15% So rather than touch his person, she said, 342 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:24.640 line:15% I'll just touch his garment. 343 00:15:24.640 --> 00:15:26.840 line:15% No one will even know that I've touched it. 344 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.520 line:15% I'm just going to sneak a healing touch. And she reached 345 00:15:30.520 --> 00:15:32.120 line:15% out and touched his garment. 346 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.240 line:15% And it is likely that she was crawling on her knees 347 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.400 line:15% through this crowd, shoving legs out of the way. 348 00:15:38.400 --> 00:15:41.800 line:15% And the crowd was so tightly compressed they couldn't see 349 00:15:41.800 --> 00:15:43.680 line:15% what it was moving between their legs. 350 00:15:43.680 --> 00:15:47.320 line:15% But this woman was on her knees, on her way to Jesus 351 00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:49.600 line:15% to grab hold of the bottom of his garment. 352 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.160 line:15% And verse 28 says, For she said, if I may, 353 00:15:53.160 --> 00:15:54.480 line:15% but touch his clothes, 354 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.520 line:15% I shall behold. And the word, said, here is very important 355 00:15:58.520 --> 00:16:01.080 line:15% because in Greek, it says she was saying and saying 356 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:04.640 line:15% and saying, and it implies continuous action, which means 357 00:16:04.640 --> 00:16:06.120 line:15% as she was crawling on her hands 358 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.600 line:15% and knees through the crowd, she was speaking to herself. 359 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.480 line:15% She had an internal monologue going on. 360 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.480 line:15% The Greek actually means for she kept saying and kept saying 361 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.640 line:15% and kept saying and kept saying, If I may 362 00:16:16.640 --> 00:16:19.280 line:15% but touch his clothes. So we know she was saying, 363 00:16:19.280 --> 00:16:22.160 line:15% If I can just get there, if I can just touch him, 364 00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:24.240 line:15% if I can just make my way to him, 365 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:28.320 line:15% if I can just touch his garment, I shall be whole. And 366 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:30.680 line:15% of course she was declaring her faith. 367 00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:34.880 line:15% And when she said, I shall be whole, it is the word sodzo 368 00:16:34.880 --> 00:16:38.800 line:15% in Greek, which describes deliverance, prosperity, 369 00:16:38.800 --> 00:16:42.200 line:15% protection, safety, and comprehensive soundness 370 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.160 line:15% and health of all kinds. 371 00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:47.800 line:15% She knew that if she could just touch Jesus, 372 00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:50.640 line:15% that action would set her free, would heal her, 373 00:16:50.640 --> 00:16:53.040 line:15% and would restore her life like it was doing 374 00:16:53.040 --> 00:16:55.280 line:15% for other people in the crowd. 375 00:16:55.280 --> 00:16:57.760 line:15% And in verse 29, the Bible says, 376 00:16:57.760 --> 00:17:00.640 line:15% And straightway. This word straightway, in Greek is the 377 00:17:00.640 --> 00:17:03.200 line:15% word eutheos, which means instantly 378 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:08.160 line:15% or instantaneously the fountain of her blood was dried up 379 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:12.680 line:15% and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 380 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.280 line:15% The word, fountain, is the Greek word pege. 381 00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:17.840 line:15% And this tells us how severe was her condition 382 00:17:17.840 --> 00:17:20.800 line:15% because the word pege is the word for a gushing 383 00:17:20.800 --> 00:17:22.280 line:15% and flowing spring, 384 00:17:22.280 --> 00:17:24.720 line:15% and it really captures the severity 385 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:26.400 line:15% of her medical condition. 386 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.000 line:15% It was like a gushing or flowing spring of blood, 387 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.760 line:15% but it was dried up 388 00:17:32.760 --> 00:17:35.680 line:15% and she felt in her body that she was healed. 389 00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:40.560 line:15% The Greek word iaomai she was instantly cured of her plague. 390 00:17:40.560 --> 00:17:42.320 line:15% What does the word plague mean? 391 00:17:42.320 --> 00:17:44.400 line:15% Well, I want you to see this on the screen 392 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:45.840 line:15% because this is important. 393 00:17:45.840 --> 00:17:48.360 line:15% The word plague is the word mastigos. 394 00:17:48.360 --> 00:17:50.440 line:15% It is a variation of the word mastix, 395 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.440 line:15% which is a word of torture. 396 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.440 line:15% It refers to the relentless act 397 00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:58.160 line:15% of repeatedly whipping a prisoner or a captive. 398 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:00.440 line:15% And once the prisoner's wounds had healed, 399 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.600 line:15% he was dragged back to the whipping post for another round 400 00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:05.400 line:15% of lashes, ensuring 401 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.800 line:15% that the captive's suffering was both ongoing and unending. 402 00:18:09.800 --> 00:18:13.800 line:15% And these beatings, the rarely fatal inflicted agony 403 00:18:13.800 --> 00:18:15.360 line:15% and perpetual torment. 404 00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:19.360 line:15% And this word, plague used in this verse pictures a chronic 405 00:18:19.360 --> 00:18:23.120 line:15% ailment or chronic physical distress embodying 406 00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:24.760 line:15% any relentless illness 407 00:18:24.760 --> 00:18:27.720 line:15% or condition that seems to vanish only 408 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.280 line:15% to return again and again. 409 00:18:30.280 --> 00:18:34.080 line:15% It would include chronic issues like high blood pressure 410 00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:36.760 line:15% or it would include headaches or recurring allergies 411 00:18:36.760 --> 00:18:39.080 line:15% or ongoing joint pains or stomach troubles 412 00:18:39.080 --> 00:18:42.160 line:15% or any ailment marked by recurrence. 413 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:46.000 line:15% That is what this word, mastigos here translated 414 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:49.320 line:15% as plague means, and that perfectly describes her condition. 415 00:18:49.320 --> 00:18:51.360 line:15% She's not dead, it's not killing her, 416 00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:55.040 line:15% but she's been in torment for 12 long years. 417 00:18:55.040 --> 00:18:59.560 line:15% And verse 30 says, And Jesus immediately knowing in himself 418 00:18:59.560 --> 00:19:03.000 line:15% that virtue had gone out of him, turned about in the press 419 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.680 line:15% and said, Who touched by clothes. 420 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:07.920 I think the word immediately is important here 421 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.960 because it means immediately or in an instant. 422 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.360 line:15% And it shows us how sensitive Jesus was to the anointing 423 00:19:14.360 --> 00:19:17.040 line:15% and you can become that sensitive to the anointing. 424 00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:21.520 line:15% It says immediately, instantly, knowing in himself. 425 00:19:21.520 --> 00:19:23.800 line:15% The word knowing means really understanding. 426 00:19:23.800 --> 00:19:26.080 line:15% It's a form of the Greek word epignous. 427 00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:28.080 line:15% The word epi means to be on top of. 428 00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:29.760 line:15% The word gnosis means to know. 429 00:19:29.760 --> 00:19:31.480 line:15% You compound the two words together. 430 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:33.960 line:15% It describes someone on top of their subject. 431 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.240 line:15% They're an expert.
