Touch the Hem of His Garment

This miracle occurs back on the Western side of the lake (Vs. 21) while Christ was on His way to perform another miracle in the healing of Jairus' daughter. So, this miracle is a miracle within a miracle! The central theme is found in the words "thy faith hath made thee whole" (Vs. 34). This same phrase is translated elsewhere as "thy faith hath saved thee" (e.g. Lk. 7:50; 18:42). This woman is an example of someone who through faith experienced the saving, life transforming power of Christ. It serves as a powerful example to every sinner of what Christ can accomplish through salvation.
