Luke 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.

Luke 8:50 In-Context

48 And he sayde vnto hyr: Doughter be of good comforte Thy faith hath made the hoale goo in peace.

49 Whyll he yet spake there came one from ye rulers of the synagogis housse which sayde to him: thy doughter is deed disease not the master.

50 When Iesus hearde that He answered the father sayinge: Feare not beleve only and she shalbe made whole.

51 And when he came to ye housse he suffred no man to goo in with him save Peter Iames and Iohn and the father and the mother of the mayden.

52 Every body weept and sorowed for her. And he sayde: Wepe not: for she is not deed but slepeth.
