‏ Luke 8:44-46

The border of his garment ( του κρασπεδου του ιματιου ). Probably the tassel of the overgarment. Of the four corners two were in front and two behind. See on Mt 9:20.

Stanched ( εστη ). Second aorist active indicative,

stopped at once (effective aorist).

Press thee and crush thee ( συνεχουσιν σε κα αποθλιβουσιν ). Hold thee together, hold thee in ( συνεχω, see verse 37).

Crush thee ( αποθλιβω ) here only in the N.T., a verb used of pressing out grapes in Diodorus and Josephus. Mr 5:31 has συνθλιβω, to press together.

For I perceived that power had gone forth from me ( εγω γαρ εγνων δυναμιν εξεληλυθυιαν απ' εμου ). Εγνων is second aorist active indicative of γινωσκω, knowledge by personal experience as here. It is followed by the second perfect active participle εξεληλυθυιαν in indirect discourse (Robertson, Grammar, pp. 1040-42). Jesus felt the sensation of power already gone. Who does not know what this sense of "goneness" or exhaustion of nervous energy means?
