We discussed:
- Why did the unwell woman touch Jesus' cloak? What did she expect?
- Why didn't Jesus notice her until she touched him?
- Why is there a focus that she had a blood related sickness for so long?
- Two examples of intimate contact (I Samuel 24:4, David cuts Saul's cloak, and II Kings 4:27, the Shunammite woman touches Elisha's feet)
- What is her sickness: αἱμορροοῦσα?
- What should be done with people and clothes that touch something impure? (Numbers 31:19-20 and Leviticus 15:19, 15:24)
- Can we view the unwell woman as a metaphor for the physical world based on Matthew 16:17 (flesh and blood: haima)?
