Word Pictures in the NT [Luke: Chapter 8].
faced the widest publicity for her secret cure.
8:49 {From the ruler of the synagogue's house} (\para tou
archisunag•gou\). The word "house" is not in the Greek here as in
Mr 5:35 where \apo\ is used rather than \para\, as here. But
the ruler himself had come to Jesus (Lu 8:41) and this is the
real idea. Trouble not (\m•keti skulle\). See on ¯Lu 7:6 for
this verb and also Mr 5:35; Mt 9:36.
8:50 {And she shall be made whole} (\kai s•th•setai\). This
promise in addition to the words in Mr 5:36. See there for
discussion of details.
8:53 {Knowing that she was dead} (\eidotes hoti apethanen\). That
she died (\apethanen\), second aorist active indicative of
\apothn•sk•\.
8:54 {Called} (\eph•n•sen\). Certainly not to wake up the dead,
but to make it plain to all that she rose in response to his
elevated tone of voice. Some think that the remark of Jesus in
verse 52 (Mr 5:39; Mt 9:24) proves that she was not really
dead, but only in a trance. It matters little. The touch of
Christ's hand and the power of his voice restored her to life.
{Maiden} (\h• pais\) rather than Mark's (Mr 5:41) \to korasion\
(vernacular _Koin•_).
8:55 {Her spirit returned} (\epestrepsen to pneuma aut•s\). The
life came back to her at once. {Be given her to eat} (\aut•i
doth•nai phagein\). The first infinitive \doth•nai\ is an
indirect command. The second \phagein\ (second aorist active of
\esthi•\) is epexegetic purpose.
