Jesus is Interrupted (2 of 2)
Series: Miracles
Scott Maze
Luke 8:40-56
In our multi-year journey through the Gospel of Luke, we arrive at a narrative where Luke reports a series of three miracles: 1) Jesus Confronts a Demonized Man; 2) Jesus Heals the daughter of a Synagogue Ruler; and 3) A woman who has bled for twelve years touched Jesus’ clothes and was healed. Each of these three stories is designed to show the tremendous power Jesus possesses. That Jesus was a miracle worker is central to Christianity both then and now.
Today we examine the story of two stories. Two stories of Jesus healing that are sandwiched together. It’s a story where Jesus is interrupted.

As Jesus went, the people pressed around him. 43 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone. 44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”
49 While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler's house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” 50 ...
