Matthew 9:22

Jesus turned... saw her, and said.

The narrative of Mark is fuller and gives some facts that Matthew has omitted.

Daughter.

A term of affection, but, no doubt, as employed by our Savior, implying that all that was spiritually distinctive in her character had been derived from himself.

Thy faith hath made thee whole.

Literally thy faith hath saved thee. In the higher and in the lower sense, soul and body. Her faith, of course, had not been the efficient cause of her cure. Christ's power had been that. And behind his power was his person, the real healer. But her faith was the condition on her part, that rendered it fitting on his part to put forth his curative efficiency. Hence it might be represented as having in. certain subordinate respect "made her whole."-- Morison. The student should observe that hers was not. passive faith, but it led to action.. passive faith is. dead faith. The cure was effected by an exercise of Jesus' will, which responds to the woman's faith in his miraculous power, not through the mere touching of the garment. The result was instantaneous and complete.-- Meyer.
