Vincent's NT Word Studies
19. Sought - went out (ezhtounexhrceto). Both imperfects. The A.V. and Rev. lose in vividness by not rendering them accordingly. The multitudes were all the while seeking to touch him, for virtue was going out of him.Healed (iato). Compare Matt. xiv. 36; Mark vi. 56, where dieswqhsan, were thoroughly saved, and ejswzonto, were saved, are used. Luke is more technical, using the strictly medical term, which occurs twenty eight times in the New Testament, seventeen of these in Luke. Luke also uses the two words employed by Matthew and Mark, but always with some addition showing the nature of the saving. Thus Luke vii. 3, where diaswsh, (A.V., heal) is explained by verse 7, ijaqhsetai, the technical word, shall be healed, and by verse 10, "found the servant whole (uJgiainonta, another professional word - see on chapter v. 31) that had been sick." Compare, also, Luke viii. 35, 36, 44, 47, 48. Medical writers do not use swzein or diaswzein, to save, as equivalent to ijasqai, to heal, but in the sense of escaping from a severe illness or from some calamity. Luke employs it in the sense - Acts xxvii. 44; xxviii. 1.
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
20-49. Compare Matt. v. 1 to viii. 1.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
6:19 {Sought to touch him} (ezetoun haptesqai autou). Imperfect active. One can see the surging, eager crowd pressing up to Jesus. Probably some of them felt that there was a sort of virtue or magic in touching his garments like the poor woman in #Lu 8:43f. (#Mr 5:23; Mt 9:21). {For power came forth from him} (hoti dunamis par' autou exerceto). Imperfect middle, {power was coming out from him}. this is the reason for the continual approach to Jesus. {And healed them all} (kai iato pantas). Imperfect middle again. Was healing all, kept on healing all. The preacher today who is not a vehicle of power from Christ to men may well question why that is true. Undoubtedly the failure to get a blessing is one reason why many people stop going to church. One may turn to Paul's tremendous words in #Php 4:13: "I have strength for all things in him who keeps on pouring power into me" (panta iscuw en twi endunamounti me). It was at a time of surpassing dynamic spiritual energy when Jesus delivered this greatest of all sermons so far as they are reported to us. The very air was electric with spiritual power. There are such times as all preachers know.
