What Does Luke 8:44 Mean?
She comes behind Him in the press and touches the border of His garment, the fringe Israel wore by commandment as a reminder of the words of God. Immediately the issue of blood is stanched.
It is a trembling, anonymous, faith-filled touch. Many in the crowd are pressing against Him; one woman touches Him believing, and the difference is everything. At the tassel that signified the commandments of God, her trust meets His power, and twelve years of wasting end in a moment. Faith does not need a long reach, only a true one.
Luke 8:44 in the Original Language
kraspedon (κράσπεδον), 'border' -- the fringe or tassel of a garment, worn in Israel as a reminder of the commandments of God.
