Matthew 15:28

15:28 Then ¹  Jesus answered her, “Woman, ²  your faith is great! Let what you want be done for you.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Luke 5:20

5:20 When ³  Jesus ⁴  saw their ⁵  faith he said, “Friend, ⁶  your sins are forgiven.” ⁷ 

Luke 7:50

7:50 He ⁸  said to the woman, “Your faith ⁹  has saved you; ¹⁰  go in peace.”

[15:28]  ¹ tn Grk “Then answering, Jesus said to her.” This expression has been simplified in the translation.

[15:28]  ² sn Woman was a polite form of address (see BDAG 208-9 s.v. γυνή 1), similar to “Madam” or “Ma’am” used in English in different regions.

[5:20]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:20]  ⁵ sn The plural pronoun their makes it clear that Jesus was responding to the faith of the entire group, not just the paralyzed man.

[5:20]  ⁶ tn Grk “Man,” but the term used in this way was not derogatory in Jewish culture. Used in address (as here) it means “friend” (see BDAG 82 s.v. ἄνθρωπος 8).

[5:20]  ⁷ tn Grk “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” Luke stresses the forgiveness of sins (cf. 1:77; 3:3; 24:47). In 5:20 he uses both the perfect ἀφέωνται and the personal pronoun σοι which together combine to heighten the subjective aspect of the experience of forgiveness. The σοι has been omitted in translation in light of normal English style.

[7:50]  ⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[7:50]  ⁹ sn On faith see Luke 5:20; 7:9; 8:25; 12:28; 17:6; 18:8; 22:32.

[7:50]  ¹⁰ sn The questioning did not stop Jesus. He declared authoritatively that the woman was forgiven by God (your faith has saved you). This event is a concrete example of Luke 5:31-32.
