Matthew 9:21

for she kept saying to herself, "If I just touch his cloak, I will be healed (saved, free).
[Both the dead girl and the woman were ceremonially unclean according to Jewish law. For the woman, this was as big a problem as the disease itself, because everything she touched became unclean, see Lev. 15:19–33. She was excluded from society, and it is not unlikely that her husband also divorced her because of her illness. The reason why the woman wanted to touch the tassel may be the Bible verse in Mal. 4:2 which states that "the sun of righteousness," referring to the coming Messiah, "shall arise with healing in its wings." The word often translated as "wing" is the same word used for "corner" in Num 15:38, where the commandment to wear four tassels on the "corners" of one's clothing is instituted. The corner tassel is also a symbol of power and authority. When David cut off the corner tassel of Saul's robe, he had taken the king's authority, see 1 Sam. 24:1–7. Another example is Ruth, who asked Boaz to spread his cloak over her, see Ruth 3:9. When the woman with the issue of blood touched Jesus' cloak, she touched Jesus' power and authority. Normally, the person the woman touched would become unclean; instead, it is the woman who is healed and cleansed.]
