The Lord saw her (idwn authn o kuriov). The Lord of Life confronts death (Plummer) and Luke may use Kuriov here purposely.
Had compassion (esplagxqh). First aorist (ingressive) passive indicative of splagxnizomai. Often love and pity are mentioned as the motives for Christ's miracles (Matthew 14:14; Matthew 15:32, etc.). It is confined to the Synoptics in the N.T. and about Christ save in the parables by Christ.
Weep not (mh klaie). Present imperative in a prohibition. Cease weeping.
