Study note
Setting — Jesus addresses the woman who touched His garment after she publicly confessed her healing while trembling before the crowd. He speaks to her immediately following her explanation, before the messenger from Jairus arrives.
The words — The supplied Greek lists εἶπεν (eipen, "He said"), θάρσει (tharsei, "Take courage"), θυγάτηρ (thugatēr, "daughter"), and πίστις (pistis, "faith"). These terms form the direct address and the causal link to her restoration.
The thread — The formula "your faith has healed/saved you; go in peace" matches Luke 7:50. The specific address "Take courage, daughter" and the clause "your faith has healed you" correspond to Matthew 9:22.
Why it lands — The text records Jesus directly attributing the woman's physical restoration to her trust rather than His power alone, concluding with a command to depart calmly. The narrative structure places this declaration after her public confession and before the interruption regarding Jairus's household.
