The Gospel According to Mark
Chapter 6:53-56

53 And they came over, and went into the land of Gennesaret, and arrived.
54 So when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
55 And ran about throughout all that region round about, and began to carry hither and thither in couches all that were sick, where they heard that he was.
56 And whithersoever he entered into towns, or cities, or villages, they laid their sick in the streets, and prayed him that they might touch at the least the edge of his garment. And as many as touched him, were made whole.

Verse 56b
Numbers 15:38-40

Brethren:

In the above-mentioned related scripture, we read of how God instructed the children of Isreal to prepare the hems of their garments in a special manner. This was to remind them and to signify their satisfaction and in likewise remind them of being holy for God Himself is holy.

And so, as we read in verse fifty-six, we see that Christ Himself, held on, and observed that command, but it also, shows that He, likened Himself to the Creator by being holy, and, signified his authority.

This authority, as given unto Him by the Holy Spirit, allowed for Him to, among other things, heal others.
