AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 9:20 ¶ Then a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the [tassel] fringe of His outer robe; [Matt 14:36] |
Bible Question: Why did the woman in ver Mat. 9:20 think she would be healed by touching the hem of Jesus' garment? What is it about the hem? |
Bible Answer: I don't think it was the hem itself but who was wearing the garment that the hem was a part of. Jesus was known as a miracle healer, a prophet, and a messenger of God. She had the faith that by merely touching his garment, even the smallest most out of the way piece of it, would heal her of her ailments. Personally, I think it could have been his shirt sleeve, ballcap, or showstring .. even his hand. The location doesn't matter. The point is that she had the faith needed to be healed and that faith was in Jesus's ability and in his soverignty, not what he wore. Jesus loves you! Jesusman |
