Matthew 9:21 - Exposition
For she said within herself, If I may ; do (Revised Version). There is no thought of permission ( ἐὰν μόνον ἅψωμαι ). But touch his garment, I shall be whole; saved . The threefold σώζειν is suggestive. Observe that she is "saved" in spite of her superstition; God " pitieth the blind that would gladly see " (Hooker, 'Serm.,' 2. § 38).
