From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 34. Daughter. A word of kindness, tending to inspire confidence, and to dissipate her fears. Be whole. That is, continue to be whole; for she was already cured. Of thy plague. Thy disease; literally, thy scourge. So a word from Jesus heals the moral malady of the sinner. {m} "faith hath made" Mr 10:52; Ac 14:9 {n} "go in peace" 1 Sa 1:17; 20:42; 2 Ki 5:19 __________________________________________________________________
