20 aAnd suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and btouched the hem of His garment.  
21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”
22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; ayour faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.  
23 aWhen Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw bthe flute players and the noisy crowd wailing,  
24 He said to them, a“Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him.

Matthew 9:22

Matthew 9:22 Thy faith had made thee whole. Literally, "thy faith hath saved thee". Her faith, of course, had not been the cause of her cure. Christ's power had been that. But her faith was the condition on her part. Hence it might be represented as having "made her whole". The student should observe that hers was not a passive faith, but it led to action. A passive faith is a dead faith. (See James 2:17).
