Matthew 9:22

Compare all

20 ^aAnd suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and ^btouched the hem of His garment.

21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”

22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; ^ayour faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

23 ^aWhen Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw ^bthe flute players and the noisy crowd wailing,

24 He said to them, ^a“Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him.

25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and ^atook her by the hand, and the girl arose.

26 And the ^areport of this went out into all that land.

Two Blind Men Healed

27 When Jesus departed from there, ^atwo blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, ^b“Son of David, have mercy on us!”

28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

Matthew 9:22

Daughter, be of good comfort - , Take courage, daughter. See on Matthew 9:2 (note). The reason of this kind speech was - Jesus, finding that virtue had proceeded from him; made inquiry who had touched him. The woman, finding that she could not be hid, came fearing and trembling, (Mark 5:33), and confessed the truth: to dispel these fears and to comfort her mind, Jesus said, Daughter, take courage.

Thy faith hath made thee whole - , This thy faith hath saved thee: i.e. thy faith in my power has interested that power in thy behalf, so that thou art saved from thy disorder, and from all its consequences. See on Luke 8:46 (note).
