Luke 8:54

Compare all

52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, ^a“Do not weep; she is not dead, ^bbut sleeping.”

53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

54 But He¹ put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, ^aarise.”

55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.

56 And her parents were astonished, but ^aHe charged them to tell no one what had happened.

He put them all out - That is, the pipers and those who made a noise, weeping and lamenting. See Matthew 9:23; Mark 5:38. Pompous funeral ceremonies are ridiculous in themselves, and entirely opposed to the spirit and simplicity of the religion of Christ. Every where they meet with his disapprobation.
