The Pulpit Commentary on Matthew 14:36

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And besought; and they besought (Revised Version); i.e. the sick, for probably the change of person takes place here and not at" that they might touch." Him that they might only touch the hem of his garment (, , notes): and as many as touched were made perfectly whole ( διεσώθησαν); were made whole (Revised Version). For διά here is probably not intensive, but rather gives the thought of being brought out safe through the danger. In the LXX. διασώζεσθαι is a common rendering of טלמן, "escape."
