She came up behind Him
This phrase highlights the woman's approach to Jesus, emphasizing her humility and desperation. In the cultural context of first-century Judea, a woman suffering from a bleeding disorder would have been considered ceremonially unclean, as per Levitical law (Leviticus 15:25-27). Her decision to approach Jesus from behind reflects both her awareness of societal norms and her deep faith that even a secretive touch could bring healing. The Greek word for "came up" (προσελθοῦσα, proselthousa) suggests an intentional and determined action, indicating her belief in Jesus' power to heal.

and touched the fringe of His cloak
The "fringe" refers to the tassels (tzitzit) that Jewish men wore on the corners of their garments, as commanded in Numbers 15:38-39. These tassels were a reminder of God's commandments and a symbol of piety. By touching the fringe, the woman was not only reaching out for physical healing but also connecting with the spiritual significance of Jesus' identity as a devout Jew and a teacher. The Greek word for "touched" (ἥψατο, hēpsato) implies a deliberate and faith-filled action, underscoring her belief that even the smallest contact with Jesus could result in a miracle.

and immediately her bleeding stopped
The word "immediately" (παραχρῆμα, parachrēma) is significant, as it underscores the instantaneous nature of the miracle. This immediate cessation of her bleeding is a testament to the divine power of Jesus, affirming His authority over physical ailments and His compassion for those in distress. The phrase "her bleeding stopped" not only indicates a physical healing but also a restoration of her social and religious standing, as she would no longer be considered unclean. This miraculous event serves as a powerful demonstration of faith and the transformative power of Jesus' presence.
