Luke 6

Luke6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

This situation or scenario lets me think of Peter and Paul, who had similar great power to heal other people. In Luke the people had to touch him in order to be healed. Let's see what the people had to do, when Peter was around:

Acts5:15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

The people didn't have to touch Peter in order to be healed. His shadow was enough, to perform great miracles.
Paul's example is even more impressive:

Acts19:11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,
Acts19:12
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.

A handkerchief!!! (did Paul already use it or not?) God worked through Paul's handkerchief... impressive and interesting.....

But it's strange that why God allow it happen? Isn't it possible to result in idolizing the saints and the relics, just as what catholic churches did? Just curious about it:).
