Mark 5:28

Context
5:28 for she kept saying, 1  “If only I touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 2 

Mark 6:13

Context
6:13 They cast out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.

1 tn The imperfect verb is here taken iteratively, for the context suggests that the woman was trying to muster up the courage to touch Jesus’ cloak.

2 tn Grk “saved.”

sn In this pericope the author uses a term for being healed (Grk “saved”) that would have spiritual significance to his readers. It may be a double entendre (cf. parallel in Matt 9:21 which uses the same term), since elsewhere he uses verbs that simply mean “heal”: If only the reader would “touch” Jesus, he too would be “saved.”
