Study note
Setting — The narrative records a woman with a chronic hemorrhage who has just touched Jesus' garment, noting the immediate cessation of her bleeding and her physical awareness of restoration. This moment occurs directly before Jesus questions the crowd about who touched Him.
The words — The Greek verb ἐξηράνθη (exēranthē) literally means "was dried up," describing the physiological end of the flow of blood (αἵματος, haimatos). The adverb εὐθὺς (euthus) specifies that this physical change happened without delay.
The thread — The pattern of God directly healing physical affliction appears in Psalms 30:2 and Psalms 103:3. Jesus later validates the woman's restoration by declaring her faith has healed her in Mark 5:34.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to observe that bodily restoration is documented as a concrete event preceding any verbal confirmation. It demands acknowledgment that the physical reality of healing precedes the spiritual explanation.
