Luca 8:49 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:49

While he yet spake
The above words to the woman;

there cometh one:
Mark suggests there were more than one, ( Mark 5:35 ) , (See Gill on Mark 5:35) and the Persic version here reads, "some of the ruler's family came"; that is, to him, who was now with Jesus: from the ruler of the synagogue's house; so the word "house" is supplied by the Syriac and Ethiopic versions; otherwise the words would be,

from the ruler of the synagogue;
which could not be, since he was still with Christ: hence some versions, as the Vulgate and Arabic, render them, "to the ruler of the synagogue"; and which give a true sense, and a right view of the case; for this messenger both came from his house, and to him:

saying to him, thy daughter is dead, trouble not the master;
to bring him any further, since all hope of help was now gone. The Vulgate Latin version, instead of "master", reads "him"; and the Ethiopic version, "Jesus".

Luca 8:49 In-Context

47 E la donna, veggendo ch’era scoperta, tutta tremante venne; e, gettataglisi a’ piedi, gli dichiarò, in presenza di tutto il popolo, per qual cagione l’avea toccato, e come in quello stante era guarita.
48 Ed egli le disse: Sta’ di buon cuore, figliuola; la tua fede ti ha salvata; vattene in pace.
49 Ora, mentre egli parlava ancora, venne uno di casa del capo della sinagoga, dicendogli: La tua figliuola è morta; non dar molestia al Maestro.
50 Ma Gesù, udito ciò, gli fece motto, e disse: Non temere; credi solamente, ed ella sarà salva.
51 Ed entrato nella casa, non permise che alcuno vi entrasse, se non Pietro, e Giovanni, e Giacomo, e il padre, e la madre della fanciulla.
