Lukas 8:51 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:51

And when he came into the house
Of the ruler of the synagogue;

he suffered no man to go in:
to the room, where the dead body lay:

save Peter, James and John;
not one of the multitude that followed him, nor any of the disciples, but these three; who were his favourite ones, and were a sufficient number to be witnesses of the miracle:

and the father and mother of the maiden;
these also were admitted. The Persic version very wrongly joins these last words with the beginning of the next verse, reading them thus, "the father and mother of the maiden, with the domestics, wept and bewailed her".

Lukas 8:51 In-Context

49 While he was still speaking, someone comes from the bais (house) of the Rosh Kehillah [Yair], saying, Your bat has died. Do not cause a shter (bother) for the rebbe.
50 But when he heard this, he answered him, Do not be afraid; only have emunah, and she will receive refuah.
51 And having come to the bais, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach did not permit anyone to enter with him, except Kefa and Yochanan and Yaakov, and the yaldah’s Abba and Em.
52 And all were weeping and mourning for the yaldah; but he said, Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is sleeping.
53 And they were making leitzonus (fun) of him, having had daas that she was a nifteret (a deceased person).
