Lucas 8:50 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:50

But when Jesus heard it
The message that was brought to the ruler, and the hint that was given, that it was needless to give him any further trouble:

he answered him;
not the messenger, but the father of the child, as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read:

saying, fear not:
do not be dismayed at this message, nor despair of help, notwithstanding such is the case:

believe only, and she shall be made whole;
exercise faith in me, that I am able to raise her from the dead, and I will do it; and she shall be restored to life, and to perfect health and strength again.

49 Estando aún él hablando, vino uno del príncipe de la sinagoga a decirle: Tu hija está muerta, no des trabajo al Maestro

50 Y oyéndolo Jesús, le respondió: No temas; cree solamente, y será salva

51 Y entrado en casa, no dejó entrar a nadie consigo, sino a Pedro, y a Jacobo, y a Juan, y al padre y a la madre de la niña
