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 Quando chegou à casa de Jairo, não deixou ninguém entrar com ele, exceto Pedro, João, Tiago e o pai e a mãe da criança.

52 Enquanto isso, todo o povo estava se lamentando e chorando por ela. “Não chorem”, disse Jesus. “Ela não está morta, mas dorme”.

53 Todos começaram a rir dele, pois sabiam que ela estava morta.

54 Mas ele a tomou pela mão e disse: “Menina, levante-se!”

55 O espírito dela voltou, e ela se levantou imediatamente. Então Jesus lhes ordenou que dessem de comer a ela.
