Luke 8:45

“And Jesus said, who touched me? etc.] This he said, not as ignorant of the person that had done it, but in order to discover her to the people, and the cure she had received, as well as her faith; (See Gill on “<410530>Mark 5:30”). When all denied; both the disciples and the multitude, as many as were near him, and who might be thought to have done it; all excepting the woman, who afterwards came and declared it; for it is very likely, that as soon as she had touched his garment, and got her cure, she drew further off: Peter, and they that were with him; the rest of the disciples, who were in company together, as appears from (<410531>Mark 5:31) Said, Master, the multitude throng thee, and…”

“Who touched me?--"Askest Thou, Lord, who touched Thee? Rather ask who touched Thee not in such a throng."”

“8:45 Who touched me? Jesus recognized the touch of faith by a needy person.”

“Who: "Not that he was ignorant who had touched him," says Epiphanius, "but that he might not be himself the divulger of the miracle, and that the woman, hearing the question, and drawing near, might testify the singular benefit she had received, and that, in consequence of her declaration, she might presently hear from his lips, that her faith had saved her; and by this means, others might be excited to come and be healed of their disorders." the multitude: Luk 9:13; Mar 5:30-32 Luke 8:46”
