"Christ knew every thought of her mind, and He was making His way to where she stood. He realized her great need, and He was helping her to exercise faith. MH 60.1"
"But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour."
Both passages refer to Jesus healing the woman with the issue of blood, and highlight the role of faith in the healing. The EGW passage amplifies the idea that Jesus was aware of her need and helped her exercise faith, which is implicit in the biblical account.
"As He was passing, she reached forward and succeeded in barely touching the border of His garment. That moment she knew that she was healed. In that one touch was concentrated the faith of her life, and instantly her pain and feebleness disappeared. Instantly she felt the thrill as of an electric current passing through every fiber of her being. There came over her a sensation of perfect health. “She felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.” Verse 29 . MH 60.2"
"And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:"
Both passages describe the woman with the issue of blood touching the hem of Jesus' garment. The EGW passage expands on the immediate healing and the sensation she felt, drawing directly from the biblical narrative.

"The grateful woman desired to express her thanks to the Mighty Healer, who had done more for her in one touch than the physicians had done in twelve long years; but she dared not.

"But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth."
The EGW passage retells the story in Mark 5:33, amplifying the woman's feelings and motivations. While not a direct quote, it clearly draws from and expands upon the biblical narrative.
"And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately."
Both passages describe Jesus asking who touched him after the woman with the issue of blood was healed. The EGW passage adds details about the woman's initial desire to remain anonymous and her gratitude.
"Looking at Him in amazement, Peter answered, “Master, the multitude throng Thee and press Thee, and sayest Thou, Who touched Me?” Luke 8:45 . MH 60.4"
"And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?"
The EGW passage directly quotes Luke 8:45, making it a clear and explicit allusion.
"“Somebody hath touched Me,” Jesus said; “for I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me.” Verse 46 . He could distinguish the touch of faith from the casual touch of the careless throng. Someone had touched Him with a deep purpose and had received answer. MH 60.5"
"And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?"

"And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me."
EGW directly quotes Luke 8:46.
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
This is a direct quote, even though it's just a fragment. It's clearly referencing the invitation to come to Christ.
