Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Thy faith hath saved thee - Thy faith hath been the instrument of receiving the salvation which is promised to those who repent. Go in peace. Though peace of conscience be the inseparable consequence of the pardon of sin, yet here it seems to be used as a valediction or farewell: as if he had said, May goodness and mercy continue to follow thee! In this sense it is certainly used Jdg 18:6; 1Sa 1:17; 1Sa 20:42; 1Sa 29:7; 2Sa 15:9; Jas 2:16. The affecting account of raising the widow’s son to life, Luk 7:11-17, is capable of farther improvement.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 1162: “Saving Faith” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1874)

I do not remember that this expression is found anywhere else in the Word of God. It is found in these two places in the Gospel by Luke, but not in any other Gospel. Luke also gives us in two other places a kindred, and almost identical expression, ‘Thy faith hath made thee whole.’ This you will find used in reference to the woman whose issue of blood had been staunched (Luke 8:48), and in connection with that one of the ten lepers who returned to praise the Saviour for the cure he had received (Luke 17:19).

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Luke (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1858)

The deeply interesting narrative contained in these verses, is only found in the Gospel of Luke. In order to see the full beauty of the story — we should read, in connection with it, the eleventh chapter of Matthew. We shall then discover the striking fact that the woman whose conduct is here recorded, most likely owed her conversion to the well-known words, "Come unto Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden — and I will give you rest."
