SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:36
y le rogaban que les dejase tocar solamente el borde de su manto; y todos los que le tocaron, fueron salvos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:36
Verse 36. That they might only touch the hem of his garment] What mighty influence must the grace and Spirit of Christ have in the soul, when even the border or hem of his garment produced such wonders in the bodies of those who touched it! Here is a man who has turned from sin to God through Christ, and the healing hand of Jesus is laid upon him. Then, no wonder that he knows and feels his sins forgiven, his soul purified, and his heart filled with the fullness of his Maker. Lord, increase our faith! and we shall see greater manifestations of thy power and glory! Amen.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. And besought him that they might touch the hem of his garment , etc.] As the woman with the bloody issue did; ( Matthew 9:20). This they desired, partly to show the strength of their faith in him, that they doubted not of a cure, could they be admitted so near his person; and partly, to signify the sense of their unworthiness, to be in another way taken notice of by him, either by speaking to them, or putting his hands on them: and as many as touched, were made perfectly whole . Christ condescended to this their request, and perfectly cured all such of their diseases, of whatever kind they were, who, in the exercise of faith, touched the hem of his garment, the fringe he wore, in compliance with the ceremonial law, ( Numbers 15:38,39 Deuteronomy 22:12).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 34-36 - Whithersoever Christ went, he was doing good. They brought unto him all that were diseased. They came humbly beseeching him to help them. The experiences of others may direct and encourage us in seeking for Christ. As many as touched, were made perfectly whole. Those who Christ heals, he heals perfectly. Were men more acquainted with Christ and with the diseased state of their souls, they would flock to receiv his healing influences. The healing virtue was not in the finger, but in their faith; or rather, it was in Christ, whom their faith took holy upon __________________________________________________________________
