English
She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
Notes
the fringe of His cloak: This likely refers to the little pieces of material (tassels) that pious Jews wore on the edges of their clothing (see Numbers 15:38–39; Deuteronomy 22:12).
These two accounts of healing show that Jesus has authority over disease and death. They also show the power of faith.
