43. Had spent (7pocavadécaca). Only here in New Tes- tament. Some texts omit who had spent all her living upon physicians. Luke, with professional sensitiveness, omits Mark’s statement that she had suffered many things from many physi- cians, and was not bettered but made worse.
44. Hem. See on Matt. ix. 20. Stanched (gor). A common medical term.
45. Who touched (rés 6 dypapevds). Lit., who ds he that touched? Rev., who is it that.
Cu. VIIL] LUKE. Sow
Throng and press (cvvéyovow—dro9\Bovew). On the former word, see ver. 37, and ch. iv. 38. Rev. renders the lat- ter, which occurs here only, more literally, crush. It means to squeeze out, as wine from grapes. See on tribulation, Matt. xiii. 21.
46. Hath touched (sppato)—I perceive (gyvwr). Rey. ren- ders the two aorists strictly: did touch, and I perceived, with reference to Jesus’ knowledge of the touch at the moment it was applied.
Virtue (Svvamv). Rev., power. The evangelists use the word frequently of miracles—mighty works. It is used here in the sense of virtue, according to its use bv. naturalists and physicians. Still, too much stress must not be laid upon it as a mark of Luke’s professional accuracy, as Dean Plumptre in “The Expositor,” iv., 139; since Mark uses it in his narrative of the same incident, and in the same sense (Mark v. 30).
47. Falling down. Not in worship, but in terror. See on fell down, v. 28.
48. In peace. See on ch. vii. 50.
49. From the ruler of the synagogue’s house. A. V. and Rev. properly supply Aouse, as the ruler himself is present with Jesus.
Dead. Placed first in the Greek order, for emphasis. “* Dead is thy daughter.”
Trouble. See on Matt. ix. 36; Mark v. 35. Tyndale ren- ders dis-ease, in the old verbal sense of disturb.
52. Wept and bewailed. Both imperfects, were weeping and bewailing. So, rightly, Rev. Compare on bewatling, Mark v. 38.
