The verses around Matthew 9:22.
20And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22But 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.
23And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
Verse explanation
Jesus calls her ‘Daughter,’ an affectionate term that publicly acknowledges the woman who had tried to act unseen — the healing had already happened at the touch, but the acknowledgment completes the episode.
From the Matthew 9 study in Bible in Stories.
