Luke 8:48

48 "Daughter," He said to her, "your faith has made you well. Go in peace."

Luke 8:48 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:48

And he said unto her, daughter
Instead of frowning upon her, and chiding her for what she had done, he addressed her in a very affable and affectionate manner; bidding her

be of good comfort;
and not be afraid; this clause is left out in the Vulgate Latin version, as in ( Mark 5:34 ) but is in the copies, and other versions:

thy faith hath made thee whole, go peace;
(See Gill on Matthew 8:2). (See Gill on Mark 5:34). (See Gill on Luke 7:50).

Luke 8:48 In-Context

46 "Somebody did touch Me," said Jesus. "I know that power has gone out from Me."
47 When the woman saw that she was discovered, she came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she declared the reason she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.
48 "Daughter," He said to her, "your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
49 While He was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's [house], saying, "Your daughter is dead. Don't bother the Teacher anymore."
50 When Jesus heard it, He answered him, "Don't be afraid. Only believe, and she will be made well."
