What Does Luke 8:48 Mean?
His first word to her is, Daughter. Then: be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
She came for a cure and leaves with three further gifts: a name in His family, for daughter is what He calls her; understanding, for it was her faith, not a hidden magic in the fringe, that received His power; and peace, the deep wellness of one restored to God and community. He credits her trust even as the power was all His own. So He still sends the healed away: belonging, believing, and at peace.
Luke 8:48 in the Original Language
