"And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace." — Luke 7:50 (ASV)
And he said to the woman
Notwithstanding the Pharisee's censure, both of him and her:
your faith has saved you ;
meaning either the object of her faith, himself, who was the author of eternal salvation to her; or that she, through faith in him, had received the blessings of salvation, pardon, righteousness, and life from him, and the joys and comfort of it; and had both a right unto, and a meetness for eternal glory and happiness:
go in peace ;
of conscience, and serenity of mind; let nothing disturb you; not the remembrance of past sins, which are all forgiven, nor the suggestions of Satan, who may, at one time or another, present them to view; nor the troubles and afflictions of this present life; which are all in love; nor the reproaches and censures of men of a "pharisaic" spirit: go home to your house, and about your business, and cheerfully perform your duty both to God and men; and when you have done your generation work, you shall enter into eternal peace and joy.
