Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αὐτοῦ ἅψηται

˱against˲_him ˱he˲_/may/_touch

Here the people are implying that they want Jesus to touch the man to heal him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he would touch him and heal him” or “he, by touching him, would heal him”
