And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

And {G2532} whithersoever {G3699}{G302} he entered {G1531}, into {G1519} villages {G2968}, or {G2228} cities {G4172}, or {G2228} country {G68}, they laid {G5087} the sick {G770} in {G1722} the streets {G58}, and {G2532} besought {G3870} him {G846} that {G2443} they might touch {G680} if {G2579} it were but {G2579} the border {G2899} of his {G846} garment {G2440}: and {G2532} as many {G3745} as {G302} touched {G680} him {G846} were made whole {G4982}.

Wherever he went, in towns, cities or country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the tzitzit on his robe, and all who touched it were healed.

And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
