Luke 8:54 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:54

And he put them all out
Of the room, where the maiden lay, all the mourners and pipers; all excepting the parents of the child, and his three disciples, This clause is left out in the Vulgate Latin, and Ethiopic versions; nor was it in two of Beza's ancient copies, and in two of Stephens's; but in the rest, and in the other versions:

and took hereby the hand, and called, saying;
in the Syriac language, "Talitha cumi", as in ( Mark 5:41 )

Maid, arise;
(See Gill on Mark 5:41).

Luke 8:54 In-Context

52 They were all weeping and wailing for her; but he said, "Do not weep; for she is not dead but sleeping."

53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

54 But he took her by the hand and called out, "Child, get up!"

55 Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he directed them to give her something to eat.

56 Her parents were astounded; but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
