40 Ed essi si ridevan di lui. Ma egli, messi fuori tutti, prese seco il padre e la madre della fanciulla, e coloro ch’erano con lui, ed entrò là dove la fanciulla giaceva.

Marco 5:40 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:40

And they laughed him to scorn
The servants of the house that had laid her out; and the neighbours and relations that were come in on this occasion, and had satisfied themselves that she was dead; and the players on the pipe and flute, with the mourning women, who got their livelihood this way; (See Gill on Matthew 9:24);

but when he had put them all out:
of the house, or that part of it where he was; that is, ordered them to depart, with the leave and consent of the master of the house:

he taketh the father, and the mother, of the damsel, and them that
were with him:
either with Jairus, who had accompanied him to Christ, and returned with him; the Ethiopic version reads it, "with them", who were with the father and the mother of the damsel, their near relations, and intimate friends; or rather with Christ, namely, the three disciples, Peter, James, and John;

and entereth in where the damsel was lying;
into an inner room, where the child was laid out on a bed.

Marco 5:40 In-Context

38 E venne in casa del capo della sinagoga, e vide quivi un grande strepito, gente che piangevano, e facevano un grande urlare.

39 Ed entrato dentro, disse loro: Perchè fate tanto romore, e tanti pianti? la fanciulla non è morta, ma dorme.

40 Ed essi si ridevan di lui. Ma egli, messi fuori tutti, prese seco il padre e la madre della fanciulla, e coloro ch’erano con lui, ed entrò là dove la fanciulla giaceva.

41 E presa la fanciulla per la mano, le disse: Talita cumi; il che, interpretato, vuol dire: Fanciulla io tel dico, levati.

42 E subito la fanciullina si levò, e camminava; perciocchè era d’età di dodici anni. Ed essi sbigottirono di grande sbigottimento.
