Sought - went out (ἐζήτουν - έξήρχετο)
Both imperfects. The A. V. and Rev. lose in vividness by not rendering them accordingly. The multitudes were all the while seeking to touch him, for virtue was going out of him.
Healed (ἰᾶτο)
Compare Mat 14:36; Mar 6:56, where διεσώθησαν, were thoroughly saved, and ἐσώζοντο, were saved, are used. Luke is more technical, using the strictly medical term, which occurs twenty-eight times in the New Testament, seventeen of these in Luke. Luke also uses the two words employed by Matthew and Mark, but always with some addition showing the nature of the saving. Thus Luk 7:3, where διασώσῃ (A. V., heal) is explained by Luk 7:7, ἰαθήσεται, the technical word, shall be healed, and by Luk 7:10, "found the servant whole (ὑγιαίνοντα, another professional word - see on Luk 5:31) that had been sick." Compare, also, Luk 8:35, Luk 8:36, Luk 8:44, Luk 8:47, Luk 8:48. Medical writers do not use σώζειν or διασώζειν, to save, as equivalent to ἰᾶσθαι, to heal, but in the sense of escaping from a severe illness or from some calamity. Luke employs it in this sense - Act 27:44; Act 28:1. |

36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
