Luke 8:47

“And when the woman saw that she was not hid, etc.] From Christ, among the crowd, nor the thing that she had done. The Syriac and Arabic versions render it, “that he had not forgot her”; she hoping he would be diverted from taking any notice of her and her action, through the crowd of people about him; she came trembling; for fear of the anger and resentment of Christ, and lest the favour would be revoked, and the penalty of the law inflicted; (See Gill on “<410533>Mark 5:33”). And falling down before him; in the most humble manner, “at his feet”, as the Arabic version reads; “and worshipped him”, as the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions have it; gave him the glory of the cure, and thanks…”

“declared . . . before all--This, though a great trial to the shrinking modesty of the believing woman, was just what Christ wanted in dragging her forth, her public testimony to the facts of her case--both her disease, with her abortive efforts at a cure, and the instantaneous and perfect relief which her touch of the Great Healer had brought her.”
