Mark 5:34

“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Jesus speaks to the woman who had been bleeding for twelve years, immediately after she fell before Him trembling and told Him the whole truth (v.33). The moment is public; He does not dismiss her.

The words — πίστις (pistis, "faith") is the operative noun, credited as the cause of her healing. θυγάτηρ (thugatēr, "daughter") is a term of familial address that restores her to a position of belonging.

The thread — Luke 8:48 is nearly verbatim; Matthew 9:22 adds "Take courage" and drops "be free of your affliction." The "go in peace" formula also appears in Luke 7:50, where it follows "Your faith has saved you."

Why it lands — The verse attributes the healing to her faith rather than to His power, which forces the reader to ask what that faith actually was. "Go in peace and be free of your affliction" is a concrete release from a specific condition, not a general benediction.
