<p>5:29 <em>And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her illness</em>- The immediacy of the Lord's cure contrasted sharply with all human attempts at curing an internal disease. &quot;Healed of her illness&quot; is literally &quot;healed of her flogging&quot;. For that is how the Greek translated &quot;illness&quot; here is usually translated. We sense an allusion to the prophecy that by the Lord's floggings / stripes we are healed (Is. 53:5; 1 Pet. 2:24). The woman becomes thereby typical of us all. Our stripes / floggings become His; and thereby, through the representational nature of His life and sacrifice, we are healed.</p>
