19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
19 and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.
19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
19 Everyone was trying to touch him - so much energy surging from him, so many people healed!
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.
19 Everyone tried to touch him, because healing power went out from him, and he healed everyone.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 6:19
Commentary on Luke 6:12-19
(Read Luke 6:12-19)
We often think one half hour a great deal to spend in meditation and secret prayer, but Christ was whole nights engaged in these duties. In serving God, our great care should be not to lose time, but to make the end of one good duty the beginning of another. The twelve apostles are here named; never were men so privileged, yet one of them had a devil, and proved a traitor. Those who have not faithful preaching near them, had better travel far than be without it. It is indeed worth while to go a great way to hear the word of Christ, and to go out of the way of other business for it. They came to be cured by him, and he healed them. There is a fulness of grace in Christ, and healing virtue in him, ready to go out from him, that is enough for all, enough for each. Men regard the diseases of the body as greater evils than those of their souls; but the Scripture teaches us differently.
