ExplanationCommentary
Verse 22. Επιστραφεις και ιδων, turning about and seeing, as if he were ignorant, and wished to see who it was that had touched him, as the other evangelists relate. In Saint Mark (5:29,) we see she was cured on touching the garment; and Jesus only confirms the cure by what he says in verse 34.—But Jesus turning about. Our divine Saviour, fearing lest he might alarm the woman by his words, says immediately to her, Take courage; and at the same time calls her his daughter, because her faith had rendered her such. S. Chrysos.
