Hem Of Healing

Matthew 14:35-36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 14 in context

Scripture Focus

35And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36And 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

Biblical Context

In Matthew 14:35-36, villagers bring the sick to Jesus and beg to touch the hem of his garment; those who touch are made perfectly whole.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the scene is a vivid illustration of consciousness in action. The crowds know him not as a distant healer but as a presence within, the I AM made visible in form. The 'hem of the garment' is the edge of awareness—an outer sign of an inner touch. When any state of disease approaches the radiance of awareness, it yields to the touch of truth. The healing is not done by Jesus as a man but by the recognition that I AM is the only reality you can touch; your attention must rest on the reality of your oneness with God. As the people press close and touch the hem, they alter their belief; their faith is simple and direct. The many 'touches' represent the many states of mind seeking wholeness—each responds when consciousness yields to the I AM. Thus healing comes through alignment, not through performing or bargaining; it comes by a quiet revision of fear into faith and by feeling the presence of God as your own life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume 'I AM'—touch the hem of your own garment with your attention; feel the wholeness already present moving through every part of you.
