If, &c.— If I can, &c. I shall be cured. The original σωθησομαι, is, literally, I shall be saved; Dr. Doddridge renders it, I shall be recovered; and he observes that there are many other places in which the word is used in the same sense; as certainly it may with great propriety be applied to a rescue from any imminent danger, or pressing calamity, especially in an extraordinary way. The same word is used in the next verse. Compare Mark 5:23; Mark 5:43.Luke 8:36; Luke 17:19; Luke 18:42. John 11:12 and Acts 4:9 in the original.
