Note 2 at Lu 8:46: Is it possible that Jesus, who was God manifest in the flesh (1Ti 3:16) and therefore was all-knowing, did not actually know who touched Him? Yes! Although Jesus' spiritual man was divine, He took upon Himself a physical body (Php 2:6-8 and Heb 2:14-18) with its limitations, as can be seen by the fact that He became tired (see note 1 at Lu 8:24), hungry (Lu 4:2), and increased in wisdom and stature (see note 1 at Lu 2:52). Jesus drew on His divine ability through the gifts of the Holy Spirit (Mt 17:24-27; Lu 6:8, 19:5; Joh 1:47-48, and 4:16-19), but so can we (Joh 14:12 and 1Co 12:7). Before His resurrection, He operated as a (sinless) man by receiving from His Father through faith (Joh 8:29 with Heb 11:6).

Because Luke stated that the woman "saw that she was not hid" (Lu 8:47), it is evident that Jesus received a word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit (1Co 12:8, see note 3 at Joh 1:48) and had singled out this woman. However, this was after He felt the power of God flow out of Him and heal her. The woman was healed before He discerned her.

This illustrates that healing is governed by law and not by a case-by-case decision from God based on His feelings toward us. This woman received her healing by the law of faith (Ro 3:27) before Jesus knew anything about her. Healing is governed by law! Impassioned pleas to God will not obtain the miracle we seek, although Jesus is touched by our feelings (Heb 4:15). It requires faith (Heb 11:6). It's not because Jesus doesn't know our needs and hear our cries that miracles don't happen (many people in this multitude had needs and were thronging Jesus to get those needs met), but rather it's because very few know how the law of faith works.
