How did this woman`s broken past lead to her advantage?

The least worthy to receive Gods forgiveness so huge the burden of her past. But Gods mercy is endless and she is relieved of this unbearable weight on her soul. The greater the debt, the deeper the gratitude. It is like when we underestimate health and forget what being truly ill is. We may complain about a sore throat and think its unbearable and forget what something truly serious like a tumor lets say could be. She knew how ill she was (her tattered and wounded more dangerously than her body soul) and all the more feels the healing touch of Jesus. The darker the clouds the clearer the sky after Gods might blow so to say. Or whiter the dove. :)

How did Jesus prove to John that Jesus was the Messiah predicted by the prophet Isaiah? Note: see "Jesus Rejected at Nazareth - Luke 4:14-30"

By confirming John himself as the prophetised prophet referring back to the old OT Tradition. Also like him, he did not come dressed in
rich clothing but in rag and eats locusts, foretlling the arrival of the King on the colt. The one born in a manger. The King of the poor but rich in spirit and the ones who are poor in Spirit, and as being the sick ones, will be enriched when humbly pleading for healing. The human and the divine (people seeing the divine in John but not Jesus) dancing on us sinners on earth (that joyous leap of John in the womb of Elsiabeth when he perceived Jesus closeness), calling us to join in the nuptial feast the wedding of our souls with the King. Jesus asks the healed ones to announce what they saw, direct testimony, like he s doing himself with John.

How much do you think Jesus felt the emotional pain of those around him?

To an unatterable depth. God is love and so Jesus is love. His heart being pierced to the deepest. Also knowing that he was all powerful and yet had to leave so many for the hands of the disciples. In the broad sense of the word. All the family members. So that
we are all called to follow him in the Tending Lesson he was showing. Dd he also feel frustrated that he coud not heal everyone in one 'go'? being the All Powerful...wht strikes to the core is this tending to the individual. Its not a show ff miracle performance but loving care . Dont cry he says to the woman (with tears in his heart). Fully human...
