Spoken to
an individual

KJV

NIV

Mark 10:52 Go, your faith has healed you.

3RD (NLT, if not otherwise identified)

NLT Mark 10:52 , Go, for your faith has healed you

LISTENERS HEARD

Go away. This trust of yours has saved you,

MY TAKE

Trust is the great healer.

GREEK (Each Word Explained Bottom of Page)
GREEK ORDER

Ὕπαγε,       πίστις σου        σέσωκέν   σε
Go away, this trust   of yours has saved you,

LOST IN TRANSLATION

Jesus uses phrases like this commonly when healing someone. Jesus used these same words in Mark 5:34 but in a different order with more added. Notice that Jesus doesn't ask those he heals to follow him but to go away. He also doesn't take credit. He says that their faith has already healed them. The word "faith" does not have the sense of religion in Greek, but the sense of trusting someone, especially their word.
