Matthew 14:36

Sickness and healingFaith

34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
