What Does Luke 8:45 Mean?
Jesus stops and asks, who touched Me? Everyone denies it, and Peter points out the obvious: the multitude throngs and presses You, and You ask who touched You?
He distinguishes what Peter cannot: the press of a crowd from the touch of faith. Many bodies jostle Him; one soul has drawn on Him. And He asks not to gain information but to gain her, for He will not let her slip away with a cure and no encounter. Christ notices the one who reaches for Him in the crowd, and He stops the whole procession to find her face.
