This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment - having heard, no doubt, of what the woman with the issue of blood experienced on doing so (Mar 5:25-29), and perhaps of other unrecorded cases of the same nature.
and as many as touched him - or “it” - the border of His garment.
were made whole - All this they continued to do and to experience while our Lord was in that region. The time corresponds to that mentioned (Joh 7:1), when He “walked in Galilee,” instead of appearing in Jerusalem at the passover, “because the Jews,” that is, the rulers, “sought to kill Him” - while the people sought to enthrone Him!
