Matthew 9:21

Touch but his garment.

The Jews paid to this fringe. superstitious reverence. Sharing the superstition, and imagining that Christ healed by. sort of magic, this woman touched it in hope of cure. An ordinary teacher would have rebuked her superstition; Christ used it to teach her better. Observe that Christ complied with Jewish law and Jewish usage in his attire.-- Abbott. She believed that she was to receive something,. real blessing from Christ. This was that in her which was not in the crowd around her. They all traveled on in the highway together, talked about Christ, were interested in him in various ways, discussed his origin and nature, hoped that some good would come of him to the nation. But the woman believed that she should personally receive new life from him.--F. D. Huntington.
