Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Matthew 14

 As Jesus is walking in a crowd to the home of Jairus, we read that a woman that had suffered bleeding for many years just touched his garment and was healed.  This obviously is a popular New Testament story.   But we also read that that in the land of Gennesaret that when they learned Jesus was there - 

"they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole."   (Matthew 14:35–36)

We generally do not hear much of this event.
