Historically, this reflects the common practice of seeking out renowned healers, but in this context, it underscores the recognition of Jesus' divine authority and compassion. The people’s plea is not just a request but a demonstration of their belief in His power.just to let them touch The phrase "just to let them touch" indicates the minimal physical contact required for healing, emphasizing the power inherent in Jesus. The Greek word "ἅψωνται" (hapsōntai) means to touch or grasp lightly. This highlights the faith of the people, believing that even the slightest contact with Jesus could result in miraculous healing. It reflects a profound understanding of His holiness and the divine power that emanates from Him.the fringe of His cloak The "fringe" refers to the "κράσπεδον" (kraspedon), which is the tassel or border of a garment. In Jewish tradition, the fringe of a garment, or "tzitzit," was a reminder of the commandments (<a href="/numbers/15-38.htm">Numbers 15:38-39</a>). This detail is significant as it connects Jesus to His Jewish heritage and the fulfillment of the Law. The act of touching the fringe symbolizes a connection to the covenant and the acknowledgment of Jesus as the Messiah who embodies the Law and the Prophets.And all who touched Him The inclusivity of "all who touched Him" underscores the universal accessibility of Jesus' healing power. The Greek word "ὅσοι" (hosoi) means "as many as" or "all who," indicating that there were no exceptions or limitations to His compassion and power. This phrase highlights the boundless grace of Jesus, available to anyone who approaches Him in faith.were healed The Greek word for "healed" is "διεσώθησαν" (diesōthēsan), which can also mean "saved" or "made whole." This dual meaning suggests that the healing Jesus provides is not merely physical but also spiritual. It points to the comprehensive salvation that Jesus offers, restoring individuals to wholeness in body, mind, and spirit. This healing is a foretaste of the ultimate redemption and restoration promised in the Kingdom of God.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/matthew/14.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(36) That they might only touch the hem of his garment.--The wide-spread belief may be noted as the natural result of the miracle already recorded in <a href="/context/matthew/9-20.htm" title="And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:">Matthew 9:20-22</a>, and as the touch implied the faith which was the condition of receptivity, it was now also, as before, effective.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 36. - And besought; and they besought (Revised Version); i.e. the sick, for probably the change of person takes place here and not at" that they might touch."
