Mark 5:34

Thy faith. Jesus would have the woman understand that it was faith that had brought healing to her tortured body, not the surreptitious touch. To have the people regard Him with superstitious awe would thwart the very reason for which His miracles were performed (see on ch. 1:38). A public affirmation on His part that it was faith that brought healing would effectively preclude the rumor that healing had been secured through magic. However imperfect the woman’s faith may have been, it was, nevertheless, genuine faith, a faith proportionate to her limited knowledge and understanding of the will and ways of God.

Go in peace. See on Jer. 6:14. The woman was to depart in “peace” of body and “peace” of soul (see on Mark 2:5, 10), in the joy of acceptance with God, as testified to by her new-found health.

Be whole. That is, “continue to be in health.” It must not be supposed that healing occurred at this moment, as some have concluded, rather than previously, for the woman already knew that she was healed (see v. 29), and Jesus had already felt healing power go out from Him (see v. 30).
