Marcos 5:39 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:39

And when he was come in
Into the house, within doors, into one of the apartments, and where the company of mourners, and the pipers, and mourning women were, singing and saying their doleful ditties:

he saith unto them, why make ye this ado and weep?
why all this tumult and noise? this grief and mourning, whether real or artificial?

the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth:
not but that she was truly dead, but not so as to remain under the power of death: she was like a person in a sleep, who would in a little time be awaked out of it: and which was as easily performed by Christ, as if she had been only in a natural sleep; (See Gill on Matthew 9:24).

38 Quando chegaram a casa do chefe da sinagoga, viu Jesus um alvoroço, e os que choravam e faziam grande pranto.

39 E, entrando, disse-lhes: Por que fazeis alvoroço e chorais? a menina não morreu, mas dorme.

40 E riam-se dele; porém ele, tendo feito sair a todos, tomou consigo o pai e a mãe da menina, e os que com ele vieram, e entrou onde a menina estava.

41 E, tomando a mão da menina, disse-lhe: Talita cumi, que, traduzido, é: Menina, a ti te digo, levanta-te.
