This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
For I perceived that power had gone forth from me (egō gar egnōn dunamin exelēluthuian ap' emou). Egnōn is second aorist active indicative of ginōskō, knowledge by personal experience as here. It is followed by the second perfect active participle exelēluthuian in indirect discourse (Robertson, Grammar, pp. 1040-42). Jesus felt the sensation of power already gone. Who does not know what this sense of “goneness” or exhaustion of nervous energy means?
