Mark 5:43 That no man should know it. That is, that it should not be published abroad. It was often needful for Jesus to restrain the fame of his miracles for various reasons, one of which was the wrath they excited in the Jewish authorities. It was needful for him to delay exciting them to the point of putting him to death till his time had come. There are three cases, besides his own resurrection, of Christ raising the dead. (1) This case is immediately after death; (2) another, that of the son of the widow of Nain, at least 24 hours after death (Luke 7:11-15); (3) the third, that of Lazarus, several days after death, when corruption would naturally have begun (John 11:41-46): in one case privately; in the second, publicly; in the third, before bitter enemies.
