Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Mark 6:56

_ _ and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment — having heard, no doubt, of what the woman with the issue of blood experienced on doing so (Mark 5:25-29), and perhaps of other unrecorded cases of the same nature.

_ _ and as many as touched him — or “it” — the border of His garment.

_ _ were made whole — All this they continued to do and to experience while our Lord was in that region. The time corresponds to that mentioned (John 7:1), when He “walked in Galilee,” instead of appearing in Jerusalem at the passover, “because the Jews,” that is, the rulers, “sought to kill Him” — while the people sought to enthrone Him!
