Mark 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.

Mark 5:40 In-Context

38 When they came to the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus found many people there making lots of noise and crying loudly.

39 Jesus entered the house and said to them, "Why are you crying and making so much noise? The child is not dead, only asleep."

40 But they laughed at him. So, after throwing them out of the house, Jesus took the child's father and mother and his three followers into the room where the child was.

41 Taking hold of the girl's hand, he said to her, "Talitha, koum!" (This means, "Young girl, I tell you to stand up!")

42 At once the girl stood right up and began walking. (She was twelve years old.) Everyone was completely amazed.
