Contextual Overview

40When Jesus returned, a big crowd was waiting on him. 41A local church leader named Jairus came up and bowed down in front of Jesus. He begged Jesus to come to his home. 42His twelve-year-old daughter was dying. Jesus left with him at once and was followed by a lot of folks. 43In the crowd following Jesus was a woman who'd been bleeding for nearly twelve years and no one had been able to help her. 44She came up behind Jesus and touched his vest. Immediately her bleeding stopped. 45Jesus turned and asked, "Who touched me?"Everyone turned around all innocent like and then Pete said, "Boss, there's a bunch of people. Maybe someone accidentally bumped ya." 46But Jesus replied, "I felt the healing power leave me. Someone touched me on purpose." 47The woman was real scared now and she trembled as she took a knee before Jesus. She then explained why she had touched his vest and how she had immediately been cured. 48Jesus smiled kindly at her and said, "Daughter, your faith in me has healed you. Go in peace!" 49While Jesus was still talking to her, someone came running up from the church leader's home and told Jairus, "Your daughter is dead. No need to bring Jesus anymore."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Came behind him,.... 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 and which the more religious sort did, for by this they were distinguished from the common people: it is asked p,

"who is a plebeian, or one of the common people? every one that does not read "Keriat Shema", (i.e. hear, O Israel), c. 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 ציצית, "the fringe" on his garment''

Deuteronomy 6:8- :. 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.

p T. Bab Succa, fol. 22. 1.
