Lucas 8:53 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:53

And they laughed him to scorn
The servants, neighbours, and relations, the pipers, and mourning women: these, from weeping for the dead, fell to laughing at Christ, having him and his words in the utmost derision:

knowing that she was dead:
some of them having been employed in laying her out, and all of them having seen her, and were satisfied, and thoroughly assured, that she was actually dead, as ever any person was, as she doubtless was; but they were ignorant in what sense Christ meant she was not dead, but asleep; (See Gill on Matthew 9:24). (See Gill on Mark 5:39).

Lucas 8:53 In-Context

51 Cuando llegó a la casa de Jairo, no dejó que nadie entrara con él, excepto Pedro, Juan y Jacobo, y el padre y la madre de la niña.
52 Todos estaban llorando, muy afligidos por ella.—Dejen de llorar —les dijo Jesús—. No está muerta sino dormida.
53 Entonces ellos empezaron a burlarse de él porque sabían que estaba muerta.
54 Pero él la tomó de la mano y le dijo:—¡Niña, levántate!
55 Recobró la vida y al instante se levantó. Jesús mandó darle de comer.
