Are you being deliberately obtuse? The point is clear to anyone capable of a little critical thinking.

Luke 8
We see that after the woman touched him she was healed, not by him but by her faith, but it also had the effect of making him weak, since he stated that the virtue (strength) had left him.
So if Jesus was made weak by someone operating their faith through him, what would it do to a normal human? On the video of William Branham you hear him say that he gets weak. Here's another quote from him transcribed from an audio recording August 8, 1950.
Quote:They used to come through here, and people... They'd send me out there to be--let me pray for the sick. I'd get so weak I couldn't stand up. Then two men, one on one side, one on the other, would hold me there, let the people come by and lay their hands on me.
Here is a picture of him being held up because he's too weak to stand on his own
So of course there are going to be "evangelists' imitating the real thing, but the fact that they feel no effects is totally contrary to the Bible.
So what you're telling me is that a guy who is coversant in the Bible, and has probably read Luke, reports the same symptoms as Jesus and you take that as evidence?
A simpler explanation comes to mind. We'll see if you're sharp enough to see it, or if you need me to explain it.
