SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:44

lleg�ndose por las espaldas, toc� el borde de su vestido; y luego se estanc� el flujo de su sangre.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 44. Came behind him , etc.] In the press and crowd of people, being ashamed to come before him, and tell him her case: and touched the border of his garment the fringe the Jews were obliged to wear at the bottom of their garments, ( Numbers 15:38, Deuteronomy 22:12) and which the more religious sort did, for by this they were distinguished from the common people: it is asked f327 , �who is a plebeian, or one of the common people? every one that does not read �Keriat Shema�, (i.e. hear, O Israel), etc. ( Deuteronomy 6:4) morning and evening, with the blessings belonging to it, the words of R. Meir: but the wise men say, whoever does not put on the �Tephillin� (the frontlets, ( Deuteronomy 6:8)) Ben Azzai says, whoever has not tyxyx , �the fringe� on his garment� (See Gill on � Matthew 9:20�). This woman was persuaded in her own mind, if she could but touch the clothes of Christ, she should be healed, and accordingly she was: and immediately her issue of blood staunched ; stopped, and was dried up; ( Mark 5:28,29).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 41-56 - Let us not complain of a crowd, and a throng, and a hurry, as long a we are in the way of our duty, and doing good; but otherwise every wis man will keep himself out of it as much as he can. And many a poor sou is healed, and helped, and saved by Christ, that is hidden in a crowd and nobody notices it. This woman came trembling, yet her faith save her. There may be trembling, where yet there is saving faith. Observ Christ's comfortable words to Jairus, Fear not, believe only, and the daughter shall be made whole. No less hard was it not to grieve for the loss of an only child, than not to fear the continuance of that grief But in perfect faith there is no fear; the more we fear, the less we believe. The hand of Christ's grace goes with the calls of his word, to make them effectual. Christ commanded to give her meat. As babes ne born, so those newly raised from sin, desire spiritual food, that the may grow thereby __________________________________________________________________
