Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 8:45

"And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush [thee]." — Luke 8:45 (ASV)

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng you and press you, and do you say, Who touched me?

What impudence on their part! Doubtless there are many things we say of our Lord, and even to him in prayer, that are very far from such words as he should have from his disciples. There were many who touched him out of curiosity, and doubtless some out of want of respect to his person came too close to him, but there was only one who touched him with the finger of faith, which was the only true touch.
