Thus one substantiates the other. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge: * sought. Nu 21:8,9; 2Ki 13:21; Mt 9:20; 14:36; Mr 3:10; 6:56; 8:22 Joh 3:14,15; Ac 5:15; 19:12 * for. Lu 8:45,46; Mr 5:30; 1Pe 2:9*Gr:|   Robertson's Word Pictures: Sought to touch him (ezêtoun haptesthai autou). Imperfect active. One can see the surging, eager crowd pressing up to Jesus. Probably some of them felt that there was a sort of virtue or magic in touching his garments like the poor woman in Lu 8:43. (Mr 5:23; Mt 9:21). For power came forth from him (hoti dunamis par' autou exêrcheto). Imperfect middle, power was coming out from him. This is the reason for the continual approach to Jesus. And healed them all (kai iâto pantas). Imperfect middle again. Was healing all, kept on healing all. The preacher today who is not a vehicle of power from Christ to men may well question why that is true. Undoubtedly the failure to get a blessing is one reason why many people stop going to church. One may turn to Paul's tremendous words in Php 4:13: "I have strength for all things in him who keeps on pouring power into me" (panta ischuô en tôi endunamounti me). It was at a time of surpassing dynamic spiritual energy when Jesus delivered this greatest of all sermons so far as they are reported to us. The very air was electric with spiritual power. There are such times as all preachers know.   William Burkitt's Notes: No comment on this verse.   Family Bible Notes: Virtue; healing power. Doing good to the bodies of men often opens the way for benefiting their souls; and the one should be done for the sake of promoting the other.   1599 Geneva Bible Notes: No comment on this verse.   People's New Testament Commentary: No comment on this verse.   Albert Barnes' Commentary:  "touch him", Nu 21:8,9; Mt 14:36; Joh 3:14,15  "there went virtue out of him", Mr 5:30; Lu 8:46   Jamieson-Faussett Brown:  healed--kept healing, denoting successive acts of mercy till it went over "all" that needed. There is something unusually grand and pictorial in this touch of description.   Spurgeon Devotional Commentary: No comment on this verse.   Adam Clarke's Commentary: No comment on this verse.   Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary: No comment on this verse.   More     The crowd which comes from distant places is anxious to touch Jesus, for a sort of supernatural force emanates from his person. - William Baird, Interpreter's One-Volume Commentary, p. 683  Jesus' deeds set the context for his teaching. Wayne A. Meeks, Ed., HarperCollins Study Bible, p. 1963 They were all, one way or other, the better for him... There is a fulness of grace in Christ, and healing virtue in him, and ready to go out from him, that is enough for all, enough for each. Matthew Henry, Commentary, Vol. 5, p. 640
