In many of Jesus' encounters with the sick, he prayed for them by laying hands on them and they received their healing, not this woman in Matthew chapter 9; without Jesus' permission or knowing, she had faith enough to turn things on their head by touching him, she simply tapped into the anointing on him. "Just then a woman who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding came up behind him. She touched the fringe of his robe, for she thought, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, “Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was healed at that moment.
"
Matthew 9:20-22 NLT. The truth is, she wasn't the only one touching Jesus, but she was the only one to receive her healing. She touched him with a definite expectation that what she was praying and hoping for would happen, and it did. Jesus called this; faith.
