The hem of Jesus' garment- (Matthew 14:34-36)(Mark 6:53-56)
Matthew writes....When they had crossed over (after Jesus came walking on the sea and entered the boat that the disciples were in), they came to the land of Gennesaret and when the men of that place recognized him, they sent out into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick and begged him that they might only touch the hem of his garment and as many as touched it were made perfectly well.
Mark adds....Wherever he entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might just touch the hem of his garment and as many as touched him were made well.
The healer from Nazareth was now becoming well known, though he himself did not desire much publicity. Word had travelled far and wide and faith of the common people had risen to a level where they realized that just touching the hem of his garment would bring healing and it proved true in the lives of many.
