But Jesus turned and saw her
In this phrase, we see the intentionality and compassion of Jesus. The Greek word for "turned" is "στραφείς" (strapheis), indicating a deliberate action. Jesus, amidst a crowd, chooses to acknowledge the woman, demonstrating His awareness and care for individuals. This reflects the personal nature of Christ's ministry, where He sees and responds to the needs of each person. Historically, this act of turning and seeing would have been significant, as women in that culture often went unnoticed, especially those considered unclean due to illness.

Take courage, daughter
The phrase "Take courage" comes from the Greek "θάρσει" (tharsei), which is a command to be confident and unafraid. Jesus addresses her as "daughter," a term of endearment and acceptance. This is the only recorded instance where Jesus uses this term, highlighting His tenderness and the familial relationship He offers to believers. In a historical context, this would have been profoundly reassuring to the woman, who had been marginalized due to her condition.

your faith has healed you
The Greek word for "faith" is "πίστις" (pistis), which implies trust and belief. Jesus attributes her healing to her faith, emphasizing the power of belief in Him. The word "healed" is translated from "σέσωκεν" (sesōken), which can also mean "saved." This dual meaning suggests that her faith not only brought physical healing but also spiritual salvation. In the broader scriptural context, this underscores the theme that faith in Christ is the key to both physical and spiritual restoration.

And the woman was cured from that very hour
The phrase "that very hour" indicates the immediacy of the healing. The Greek "ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης" (apo tēs hōras ekeinēs) suggests a precise moment when the change occurred, highlighting the power and authority of Jesus' word. Historically, this immediate healing would have been a powerful testimony to those around, affirming Jesus' divine authority and the truth of His message. This miraculous event serves as a reminder of the transformative power of Christ in the lives of those who believe.

(22) Be of good comfort.--The same word of tenderness is spoken to her as had been spoken to the paralytic. What each needed, she the most of the two, was the courage, the enthusiasm of faith.

Thy faith hath made thee whole.--Literally, thy faith hath saved thee. The rendering of the Authorised version is not wrong, and yet it represents but part of the full meaning of the word. Her faith had saved her, in the higher as well as in the lower sense. The teaching of the narrative lies almost on the surface. There may be imperfect knowledge, false shame, imperfect trust, and yet if the germ of faith be there, Christ, the Healer both of the souls and bodies of men, recognises even the germ, and answers the longing desire of the soul to be freed from its uncleanness. Other healers may have been sought in vain, but it finds its way through the crowd that seems to hinder its approach, and the "virtue" which it seeks goes forth even from the "hem of the garment," even through outward ordinances (for thus we interpret the miracle, which is also a parable), which in themselves have no healing power. Eusebius, in his Church History (vii. 13), states that the woman belonged to Caesarea Philippi, and that, in thankfulness for her cure, she set up two statues in bronze--one of herself in the attitude of supplication, and the other of our Lord standing erect and stretching forth His hand to her--and that these were shown in his own day, in the early part of the fourth century. In the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus (v. 26) she is called Veronica.

The other Gospels relate more fully that the issue of blood ceased; that "she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague;" that Jesus perceived that "virtue had gone out of Him," and asked the question, "Who is it that touched Me?" that the disciples answered--Peter as usual foremost (Luke 8:45)--"The multitude throng Thee and press Thee, and askest Thou, Who touched Me?" that our Lord then give His reason for the question. He had felt a touch, the touch of faith and unspoken prayer, which was very different from the pressure of the eager, curious crowd.

Verse 22 - But Jesus turned him about. The order of the words shows that the thought centres, not on the action, but on the Person. It marks the transition of the narrative from the woman to Christ. Further, "to understand the greatness of Jesus' love, consider how a Pharisee might have treated one ceremonially so unclean" (Kubel). And when he saw her. The parallel passages show that this was after his inquiry who it was, etc. He said, Daughter, be of good comfort; good cheer (Revised Version); Θάρσει θύγατερ. Daughter contains the same thought as "son" in ver. 2. St. Matthew alone, as there, expands its purpose by prefixing θάρει. Θυγατέρα δὲ αὐτὴν καλεῖ ἐπειδὴ ἡ πίστις αὐτῆς θυγατέρα αὐτὴν ἐποίησεν (Chrysostom, in loc.). Thy faith hath made thee whole; hath saved thee (Revised Version). It is possible that the additional words recorded in the parallel passages, "Go in peace," point to more than only physical restoration. And the woman was made whole (saved, Revised Version margin) from that hour.
