And he said unto her, daughter,.... Instead of frowning upon her, and chiding her for what she had done, he addressed her in a very affable and affectionate manner; bidding herbe of good comfort; and not be afraid; this clause is left out in the Vulgate Latin version, as in Mr 5:34 but is in the copies, and other versions:thy faith hath made thee whole, go peace;See Gill on "Mt 8:2".

See Gill on "Mr 5:34".
