“If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.” (Mark 5:28) This woman was afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. Moreover, she had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse. She decided to seek treatment by Jesus. Possibly because of the big crowd, there was not much room for her to touch Jesus. So she thought, “If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.” By her courage and reliance, she was healed of her affliction on the spot. Jesus comforted her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.” At a time, “Jesus entered Capernaum. A centurion approached him, saying, ‘Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully.’ He said to him, ‘I will come and cure him.’ The centurion said in reply, ‘Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed.’ … And Jesus said to the centurion, ‘You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you.’” (Matthew 8:5-13) The similarity between the two was that there was no suspicion of Jesus’ power. On the other hand, when Peter walked on the water for a little while, he began to sink. Jesus said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” (Mathew 14:31) This story becomes the negative example of the teachings on faith. The conversation between the Canaanite woman and Jesus showed how important it is to have faith: “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” “It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” (Matthew 15:21-31)
