Lucas 8:53 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:53

And they laughed him to scorn
The servants, neighbours, and relations, the pipers, and mourning women: these, from weeping for the dead, fell to laughing at Christ, having him and his words in the utmost derision:

knowing that she was dead:
some of them having been employed in laying her out, and all of them having seen her, and were satisfied, and thoroughly assured, that she was actually dead, as ever any person was, as she doubtless was; but they were ignorant in what sense Christ meant she was not dead, but asleep; (See Gill on Matthew 9:24). (See Gill on Mark 5:39).

Lucas 8:53 In-Context

51 Tendo chegado � casa, a ninguém deixou entrar com ele, senão a Pedro, João, Tiago, e o pai e a mãe da menina.

52 E todos choravam e pranteavam; ele, porém, disse: Não choreis; ela não está morta, mas dorme.

53 E riam-se dele, sabendo que ela estava morta.

54 Então ele, tomando-lhe a mão, exclamou: Menina, levanta-te.

55 E o seu espírito voltou, e ela se levantou imediatamente; e Jesus mandou que lhe desse de comer.
