9:20 The woman’s constant bleeding rendered her always ceremonially unclean and made whoever she touched unclean as well (Lev 15:25-30). But instead of rendering Jesus unclean, her touching him made her clean, a stunning reversal that illustrates Jesus’ power to redeem and sanctify (see Matt 14:36; Mark 3:10). • fringe: The tassels at the bottom of a tunic (Matt 23:5; Num 15:37-41) reminded Jews to live in accord with God’s law.
