What do historical commentaries say?

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And he said unto her, daughter, etc.] Instead of frowning upon her, and chiding her for what she had done, he addressed her in a very affable and affectionate manner; bidding her be of good comfort; and not be afraid; this clause is left out in the Vulgate Latin version, as in (<410534>Mark 5:34) but is in the copies, and other versions: thy faith hath made thee whole, go peace; (See Gill on “<400802>Matthew 8:2”). (See Gill on “<410534>Mark 5:34”). (See Gill on “<420750>Luke 7:50”).”

“8:48 Your faith has made you well (literally your faith has saved you). Go in peace: Jesus said the same thing to the woman who had anointed his feet (7:50). The Greek word for “save” can indicate either spiritual or physical healing. Peace (cp. Hebrew shalom) refers to wholeness, not just lack of conflict (see 1:79; 2:14, 29; 7:50; 19:38, 42; 24:36).”
