In Matthew 9:20, a woman first touches the fringe of Jesus' garment and is healed — that individual act becomes a widespread practice here.

In Matthew 9:21, the woman expresses faith that touching Jesus' garment will heal her — that same faith motivates the crowds here.

In Matthew 23:5, the same 'fringe' is worn proudly by Pharisees — contrasting Jesus' healing fringe with their showy piety.

Numbers 15:38 commands tassels on garment corners — the very fringe Jesus wore, explaining its religious origin and significance.

Numbers 15:39 says tassels remind Israelites of commandments — this adds meaning to why touching Jesus' fringe was an act of faith.

Mark 5:27 describes the specific woman touching Jesus' cloak for healing – the very act that underlies the summary here.

In Luke 6:19, the crowd seeks to touch Jesus because power flows from Him to heal all — the same dynamic at work here.

In Leviticus 6:27, holiness is transferred by touching sacrificial flesh; here, touching Jesus' garment transfers healing – a parallel concept of contact with the holy.

In Mark 3:10, people pressed around Jesus to touch Him because He healed many — a similar motif of desperate touching.

In Acts 5:15, people seek healing from Peter's shadow – an extension of the principle that physical contact with a holy person brings healing.
