Who Touched Me?

Mark ch.5 v.24b – v.34

A large crowd followed and pressed around Jesus.

And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.

Lev.15 v.25 - 27 - - - - When a woman has a discharge of blood for many days at a time - - - - - - - she will be unclean as long as she has the discharge. - - - - - Whoever touches them will be unclean - -

She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had,

yet instead of getting better she grew worse.

Luke 6 v.19 and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

At once Jesus realised that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

“You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples

answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’”

But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the truth.

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

Daughter:

Is.62 v.11 The Lord has made proclamation to the ends of the earth; “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your Saviour comes! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.’”

Daughter:

Zech.2 v.10 “Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the Lord.Zech.9 v.9 Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

your faith has healed you.

Heb.11 v.1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (RSV)

“If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”

Go in peace

Rom.5 v.1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

be freed from your suffering.”

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the truth.

Matt.11 v.28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Ex.33 v.14 My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.

Heb.4 v.3a We who have believed enter that rest.

Heb.4 v.1 Therefore, since the promise of his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.

Heb.4 v.2b The message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.

Rom.5 v.1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

What happens when we reach out in faith

to Jesus?

We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus

Christ.
