I think he felt power flow from Him as the woman touched Him. Her faith accessed His healing power and made a withdrawal.
What a great way of putting it. Like part of the downpayment on her inheritance would you say?

Jesus felt goodness transfer from him to the woman when she touched him (or his garment). Why did goodness transfer - maybe because being healed of her condition was good and an act of goodness towards her on the part of God/Jesus? Seems like that may be part of the explanation of the verse's meaning.
yah there were so many people crowded about that day but something took place for that transfer to take place. Courage and faith seem to be the keywords.

Yes never heard of virtue. I felt power going out of Me it's in Dutch. The power of the Holy Spirit could heal her cause she touched Him in faith. He said her faith had made her whole.
I heard it translated both ways but couldn't understand it as virtue in the modern sense.
