From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 13. Glorified God. Praised God. Gave thanks to him for healing her. They who are restored to health from sickness owe it to God; and they should devote their lives to his service, as expressive of their sense of gratitude to him who has spared them. {l} "he laid his hands" Mr 16:18; Ac 9:17 __________________________________________________________________
