“Then Jesus asked.
‘Who touched me?’
When all denied it,
Peter said.
‘Master!
The crowds surround you!
They press in
On you!’”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς Τίς ὁ ἁψάμενός μου; ἀρνουμένων δὲ πάντων εἶπεν ὁ Πέτρος Ἐπιστάτα, οἱ ὄχλοι συνέχουσίν σε καὶ ἀποθλίβουσιν.
Luke said that Jesus asked (καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς) who had touched him (Τίς ὁ ἁψάμενός μου)? Everyone denied touching Jesus (ἀρνουμένων δὲ πάντων). Peter (ὁ Πέτρος) calling Jesus Master (Ἐπιστάτα) said (εἶπεν) that the crowds surrounded him and pressed in on him (οἱ ὄχλοι συνέχουσίν σε καὶ ἀποθλίβουσιν). This same question can be found in Mark, chapter 5:30, but not in Matthew. Mark said that Jesus immediately realized that power had gone forth from him. He then turned around to the crowd. He wanted to know who had touched his clothes. Both Jesus and the woman knew that something had happened. Jesus, however, was unaware of whom he had healed. Have you sometimes helped people without realizing it?
