According to the NIV, Mathew 9:20-21:
> Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years
> came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to
> herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
Some websites, such as this and that , claim that the "edge of his cloak" refers to a tzitzit , or traditional Jewish fringes. Is this a reasonable inference based on this passage?
