Matthew 8:15First Nations VersionWhen Creator Sets Free (Jesus) saw her, he reached out and touched her hand. Right then the fever left her. She felt so good she got up and made a meal for them. See the chapter |
There was a woman following with the crowd who had been bleeding in an unusual way for more than twelve winters. This would have made her ceremonially unclean and untouchable according to tribal law. She came up close behind Creator Sets Free (Jesus), reached out her hand, and touched the fringe of his outer garment.
“I want to!” Creator Sets Free (Jesus) said as he reached out and touched the man. Tribal law says that anyone who touches anything unclean would also be unclean and in need of cleansing. But Creator Sets Free (Jesus), instead of becoming unclean himself, cleansed the man with his touch. “Be clean!” he said, and right away the disease left the man and he was healed.
