{The border of his garment} (	ou kraspedou tou himatiou).
The hem or fringe of a garment, a tassel or tuft hanging from the
edge of the outer garment according to  Nu 15:38 . It was made of
twisted wool. Jesus wore the dress of other people with these
fringes at the four corners of the outer garment. The Jews
actually counted the words _Jehovah One_ from the numbers of the
twisted white threads, a refinement that Jesus had no concern
for. This poor woman had an element of superstition in her faith
as many people have, but Jesus honours her faith and cures her.
