After making the crossing to the other side of the sea, Jesus and his disciples came to the land at Gennesaret and tied up there. As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel of his cloak; and as many touched it were healed.
Lord Jesus, how great was the faith of those who came to you with their sick loved ones and friends. They believed that you had the power to heal just by touching your garment. Help us, Lord, never to lose hope, and to trust in you always when we are faced with similar circumstances in the modern, faithless world we live in today. Amen.
