‏ Mark 5:29

 She felt in her body ( εγνω τω σωματ ). She knew, the verb means. She said to herself,

 I am healed ( ιαμα ).  Ιατα retains the perfect passive in the indirect discourse. It was a vivid moment of joy for her. The plague ( μαστιγος ) or scourge was a whip used in flagellations as on Paul to find out his guilt (Ac 22:24, cf. Heb 11:26). It is an old word that was used for afflictions regarded as a scourge from God. See already on Mr 3:10.
