Mark 5:42 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 5:42

and so, when alive and well, was able to walk; though one of this age was called a little one, as this is by another evangelist; (See Gill on Matthew 9:18),

and they were astonished with a great astonishment;
they were exceedingly amazed at such a signal instance of the power of our Lord, even both the parents of the child, and the disciples of Christ.
