and stood behind Jesus, by his feet, crying and wetting his feet with her tears. Then she dried his feet with her hair, kissed them, and poured the perfume on them.

"Sew tassels on the four corners of your clothes.

She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind him,

saying to herself, "If I just touch his clothes, I will get well."

And everywhere Jesus went, to villages, towns, or farms, people would take their sick to the marketplaces and beg him to let the sick at least touch the edge of his cloak. And all who touched it were made well.

As a result of what the apostles were doing, sick people were carried out into the streets and placed on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.

Even handkerchiefs and aprons he had used were taken to the sick, and their diseases were driven away, and the evil spirits would go out of them.

He placed his hands on her, and at once she straightened herself up and praised God.

He said, "If you will obey me completely by doing what I consider right and by keeping my commands, I will not punish you with any of the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. I am the LORD, the one who heals you."

But for you who obey me, my saving power will rise on you like the sun and bring healing like the sun's rays. You will be as free and happy as calves let out of a stall.

Jesus reached out and touched him. "I do want to," he answered. "Be clean!" At once the man was healed of his disease.

Jesus had pity on them and touched their eyes; at once they were able to see, and they followed him.

But the man who had been healed did not know who Jesus was, for there was a crowd in that place, and Jesus had slipped away.
