5:32,33
Jesus was not to be deterred. The woman knew it was her that Jesus was looking for, for she knew that after touching Jesus she had been healed, she had been changed. So she fell at Jesus’ feet and told Him everything. She was full of fear, possibly partly because she feared He would be angry that she had made Him unclean.
5:34
She need have no fear, for Jesus commended her. He addressed her as “daughter” and commends her for her faith. Then He tells her to go in peace, free from her suffering. So as well as the physical healing, there is emotional restoration as well. In calling her “daughter” Jesus is assuring her that she belongs. He has also commended her for the action that she took.
