Then He laid His hands on her
In this phrase, we see the compassionate and personal touch of Jesus. The act of laying hands is significant in both Jewish and early Christian traditions, often associated with blessing, healing, or imparting authority. The Greek word for "laid" is "epitithēmi," which means to place upon or to impose. This action signifies Jesus' direct intervention and His willingness to engage personally with those in need. In the historical context, touching a woman, especially one considered unclean due to her ailment, would have been socially unacceptable. Yet, Jesus transcends these cultural barriers, demonstrating His authority over societal norms and His deep compassion for the suffering.

and immediately she was made straight
The word "immediately" (Greek: "parachrēma") emphasizes the instantaneous nature of the miracle. This is a hallmark of Jesus' healing ministry, showcasing His divine power and authority. The phrase "made straight" comes from the Greek "anorthōthē," which means to be restored or set upright. This not only refers to her physical healing but also symbolizes spiritual restoration and liberation from bondage. In a broader scriptural context, this act of making straight can be seen as a metaphor for the redemptive work of Christ, who came to set right what was broken by sin.

and she glorified God
The response of the woman is one of worship and gratitude. The Greek word for "glorified" is "doxazō," which means to honor or praise. Her immediate reaction to her healing is to give glory to God, acknowledging the divine source of her restoration. This reflects a common theme in the Gospels where miracles lead to the glorification of God, pointing to the ultimate purpose of Jesus' works—to reveal the glory of God and to draw people into a relationship with Him. Historically, this public act of glorifying God would have served as a powerful testimony to those present, affirming Jesus' identity and mission.

(13) And he laid his hands on her.--The bodily act was, as in the analogous cases of the blind and dumb (see Note on Matthew 9:29), a help to the faith which was necessary, on the woman's part, that she might receive the full benefit of the divine act of power. When this was done, she poured forth her joy (as the tense of the verb implies) in a continuous strain of praise.
