But when Jesus turned back, he saw her and said, “Take courage, daughter. your faith has saved you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.
Here Jesus encourages her by saying, “Take courage, daughter,” which shows Jesus’ compassion and care. Jesus emphasizes that it was the woman’s faith that saved her and healed her. This shows that it was not merely touching Jesus’ garment, but deep faith that brings about healing. At that very moment the woman was freed from her illness, confirming the truth of Jesus’ words. Jesus shows that faith is the key factor in healing and salvation, and the woman is immediately healed precisely because of her faith.
