After healing the woman, Jesus desired her to acknowledge the blessing she had received. The gifts which the gospel offers are not to be secured by stealth or enjoyed in secret. So the Lord calls upon us for confession of His goodness. "Ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God." Isa. 43:12.

Da Jesus havde helbredt kvinden, ville han have, at hun skulle vedkende sig den velsignelse, hun havde fået. De gaver, som evangeliet giver os, skal vi ikke tilegne os ved list eller nyde godt af i hemmelighed. Derfor kalder Herren os til at vidne om sin godhed. "I er mine vidner, lyder det fra Herren. Jeg er fra evighed Gud." Es. 43,12.
