The Greek word for "healed" is "therapeuō," which implies not just physical healing but also restoration and care. This reflects Jesus' compassion and divine authority, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah who would bring healing (<a href="/isaiah/53-4.htm">Isaiah 53:4-5</a>). Historically, this demonstrates the growing reputation of Jesus as a healer, drawing large crowds who sought relief from their ailments.<p><b>that all who had diseases</b><br />The term "diseases" in Greek is "mastigas," which can also mean "scourges" or "afflictions." This suggests not only physical ailments but also the spiritual and social burdens that accompanied them. In the Jewish context, disease was often seen as a result of sin or divine punishment, and those afflicted were marginalized. Jesus' willingness to heal all, regardless of their condition, underscores His role as the compassionate Savior who breaks social barriers and offers holistic healing.<p><b>were pressing forward</b><br />The Greek word "epipiptō" is used here, meaning to rush upon or to press forward eagerly. This conveys the desperation and urgency of the people seeking Jesus. It reflects the deep human need for healing and the hope that Jesus inspired. Archaeologically, this scene is consistent with the crowded and bustling nature of first-century Galilean towns, where news of a healer would spread rapidly, drawing multitudes.<p><b>to touch Him</b><br />Touching Jesus was seen as a means of receiving His healing power. In the cultural and religious context of the time, touch was significant; it could render one unclean according to Jewish law, especially if the person was diseased. However, Jesus reverses this notion, as His touch brings purity and healing instead of defilement. This act of faith, reaching out to touch Jesus, symbolizes the personal and transformative encounter with the divine, emphasizing that faith in Jesus transcends ritual purity and brings about true restoration.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/mark/3.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) <span class= "bld">As many as had plagues.</span>--Literally, <span class= "ital">scourges;</span> the same word as in <a href="/acts/22-24.htm" title="The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know why they cried so against him.">Acts 22:24</a>, <a href="/hebrews/11-36.htm" title="And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yes, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:">Hebrews 11:36</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/mark/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">As many as had plagues</span> - the Greek word is <span class="greek">μάστιγας</span>; literally, <span class="accented">scourges</span>, painful disorders - <span class="cmt_word">pressed upon him</span> (<span class="greek">ὥστε ἐπιπίπτειν αὐτῷ</span>); literally, <span class="accented">fell upon him</span>, <span class="accented">clung to him</span>, hoping that the very contact with him might heal them.
