Mark 5 says that the woman with a blood condition hears that Jesus is near and she goes to see him. While He is walking, she touches His hem and the verse 30 says:
And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, “Who has touched my clothes?”

Later in verse 34:
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Q. How did power leave Jesus?
Q. Did it leave him without his authority?
Q Was she healed in v34 or 30?
 
I’m just speculating. But…

Q. How did power leave Jesus?
It didn’t leave him, He just felt some of his power flowing out of him. Like a draining.

Q. Did it leave him without his authority?
No. It’s just a natural reponse that Jesus has out of love. He was human, so it’s possible that he was surprised by this, but he just responds perfectly out of love, everytime. I would assume it was problably more like involuntary, but intentional. He’s capable of anything.

Q Was she healed in v34 or 30?
Not sure, but I would guess 30. I would think she was immediately healed upon touching his clothes.

Not power. Virtue. She touched his clothes believing she would be healed (action in faith) and as such perfect salvific Grace flowed into her. This at no point diminishes Christ in His virtue (and especially not in His power)
Q. Did it leave him without his authority?
Nothing good happens without God, since God is all goodness. If she was restored to virtue, you’d better believe God (and, by extension, Christ) were complicit in the action. Her faith and action allowed her to be saved according to the plan that God willed into existance.
Q Was she healed in v34 or 30?
Verse 30. What Jesus tells her is in past tense, that she WAS healed.

But as far as I can see virtue also means power

So he healed her?

I guess one of the points I was trying to make was that he obviously wanted to draw attention to her because of her faith. She would have been on of the happy ones that if he would have healed her and then said, “don’t go tell anyone” that should would have probably done it. But here is the opposite. She was trying to be sneaky and he caught her and then pointed out her faith.

Not sure, but I would guess 30. I would think she was immediately healed upon touching his clothes.

This part doesn’t matter too much, just the general concept, that he radiated this.
