Mateo 9:21

21 porque pensó: «Si tan solo toco su túnica, quedaré sana».

Mateo 9:21 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 9:21

For she said within herself
That is, she thought within herself, she reasoned the matter in her mind, she concluded upon it, and firmly believed it; being strongly impressed and influenced by the Spirit of God, and encouraged by instances of cures she had heard were performed by persons only touching him; see ( Luke 6:19 )

if I may but touch his garment.
The Arabic version reads it, "the hem of his garment", as before; but is not supported by any copy, nor by any other version: her faith was, that if she might be allowed, or if she could by any means come at him, to touch any part of his garment, she should have a cure:

I shall be whole,
or "I shall be saved"; that is, from her disease, from which she could have no deliverance, by the advice and prescriptions of all her former physicians, and by all the means she had made use of.

19 Entonces Jesús y sus discípulos se levantaron y fueron con él.

20 Justo en ese momento, una mujer quien hacía doce años que sufría de una hemorragia continua se le acercó por detrás. Tocó el fleco de la túnica de Jesús

21 porque pensó: «Si tan solo toco su túnica, quedaré sana».

22 Jesús se dio vuelta, y cuando la vio le dijo:
Y la mujer quedó sana en ese instante.

23 Cuando Jesús llegó a la casa del oficial, vio a una ruidosa multitud y escuchó la música del funeral.
