Paul's Touch



I just noticed this.  I had not thought about this before.  There is a parallel here to the story of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment.  But Jesus was still in the garment when she touched it to receive His healing power. 

Acts 19:11-13(NKJV)
Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 
so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. 
Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” 

Here we have cloth that simply touched Paul and was no longer touching him that is used to heal people.    And just to be clear this power wasn't attributed to Paul because Paul was very clear that he was speaking in the name of Jesus.  Wow!
