Matthew 9:22 is a verse in the ninth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. Content In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort for this verse is: Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐπιστραφεὶς καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν εἶπε, Θάρσει, θύγατερ· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε. Καὶ ἐσώθη ἡ γυνὴ ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης. In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. The New International Version translates the passage as: Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment. Analysis Witham states that the woman's faith is attributed as the cause of the healing, in that she believed that by touching his garment she might be saved. Witham also notes that interestingly Jesus turns about and looks, as if he were ignorant and wanted to see who touched him. From the different gospel accounts, it isn't clear if she was healed upon Jesus' words or the moment she touched his garment. Commentary from the Church Fathers Rabanus Maurus: "What is this that He bids her, Be of good cheer, seeing if she had not had faith, she would not have sought healing of Him? He requires of her strength and perseverance, that she may come to a sure and certain salvation." Chrysostom: "Or because the woman was fearful, therefore He said, Be of good cheer. He calls her daughter, for her faith had made her such." Jerome: "He said not, Thy faith shall make thee whole, but, hath made thee whole; for in that thou hast believed, thou art already made whole." Chrysostom: "She had not yet a perfect mind respecting Christ, or she would not have supposed that she could be hid from Him; but Christ would not suffer her to go away unobserved, not that He sought fame, but for many reasons. First, He relieves the woman’s fear, that she should not be pricked in her conscience as though she had stolen this boon; secondly, He corrects her error in supposing she could be hid from Him; thirdly, He displays her faith to all for their imitation; and fourthly, He did a miracle, in that He showed He knew all
