She said to herself This phrase indicates an internal dialogue, reflecting the woman's personal faith and desperation. In the cultural context of the time, women often had limited public voice, making her internal resolve significant. Her self-talk reveals her belief in Jesus' power, despite societal norms that might discourage her from approaching Him. “If only I touch His cloak I will be healed.” Persons / Places / Events 1. The Woman with the Issue of BloodA woman suffering from a bleeding disorder for twelve years, which made her ceremonially unclean according to Jewish law. Her condition isolated her socially and religiously. 2. Jesus Christ The central figure of the New Testament, whose healing power and compassion are demonstrated in this passage. He is the one the woman seeks for healing. 3. The Crowd A large group of people surrounding Jesus, making it difficult for the woman to approach Him. The crowd represents both a physical and social barrier. 4. Capernaum The town where this event takes place, often serving as a base for Jesus' ministry in Galilee. 5. The Healing Event The miraculous healing that occurs when the woman touches Jesus' cloak, demonstrating her faith and Jesus' divine power.

We are encouraged to let our faith drive us to seek Christ, regardless of obstacles. The Power of Personal Faith Her internal dialogue, "If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed," shows the personal nature of faith. Our personal belief in Jesus' power can lead to transformation and healing. Jesus' Compassion and Power Jesus' response to the woman's touch demonstrates His compassion and willingness to heal those who seek Him in faith. We can trust in His power and love for us. The Role of Persistence in Faith Despite her long-term suffering, the woman persisted in her belief that Jesus could heal her. Persistence in faith is crucial, even when circumstances seem dire. Public Declaration of Faith After her healing, Jesus calls the woman to publicly acknowledge her faith. Our faith should not remain private but be shared as a testimony to others.(21) She said within herself.--The words indicate a faith real but not strong. She believed, as the leper did, in the power to heal, but did not trust the love, and shrank from the thought lest the Healer should shrink from her. And she thought not of a will that seeks to bless and save, but of a physical effluence passing from the body to the garments, and from the garments to the hand that touched them. Yet weak as the faith was, it was accepted, and outward things were endowed with a "virtue" which was not their own. So afterwards, where a like belief prevailed, the "handkerchiefs and aprons" that were brought from St. Paul's flesh became means of healing (Acts 19:12).Verse 21. - For she said within herself, If I may; do (Revised Version). There is no thought of permission (ἐὰν μόνον ἅψωμαι). But touch his garment, I shall be whole; saved (Revised Version margin). The threefold σώζειν is suggestive.
