Personally I would have taken a different approach. I would have wanted a more memorable experience. Maybe a secret potion or some holy water to pour on my head for seven days would be more impressive. If I was going to be healed, I’d want a little more showmanship than the fringe of a Rabbi's prayer shawl.
One particular woman thought the edge of Jesus’ prayer shawl could stop a 12-year hemorrhage. It was a bold (somewhat difficult to understand) belief. She didn’t want him to touch her head, to say a prayer, or to make a magical elixir. She just wanted to grab a corner of his outer garment.
At first glance, this lady seems to have an ill-conceived belief in the power of prayer shawls. I personally think they are a fashion nightmare and have never found one with the redeeming value of healing power. But Matthew 9:20-22 records her exceptional story.
