Talk:Mark 5

Just a question. Tzitzit has been linked up as the part of Jesus' wardrobe she touched. Is there a reference for this? Roy Brumback 05:23, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Walter Bauer's Greek-English Lexicon of the NT 3rd ed. 1979:

κράσπεδον: 1. edge, border, hem of a garment - But meaning 2 is also possible for these passages, dependending on how strictly Jesus followed Mosaic law, and also upon the way in which κράσπεδον was understood by the authors and first readers of the gospels. 2. tassel (ציצת), which the Israelite was obligated to wear on the four corners of his outer garment, according to Numbers 15:38ff; Dt 22:12.
