SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:25
Pero cuando la multitud fue echada fuera, entr, y la tom de su mano, y se levant la muchacha.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:25
Verse 25. He-took her by the hand, and the maid arose.] The fountain of life thus communicating its vital energy to the dead body. Where death has already taken place, no power but that of the great God can restore to life; in such a case, vain is the help of man. So the soul that is dead in trespasses and sins-that is, sentenced to death because of transgression-and is thus dead in law, can only be restored to spiritual life by the mighty power of the Lord Jesus; because HE alone has made the atonement, and HE alone can pardon transgression. If the spiritually dead person be utterly unconcerned about the state and fate of his soul, let a converted relative either bring him to Christ by leading him to hear the unadulterated Gospel of the kingdom; or bring Christ to him by fervent, faithful, and persevering prayer.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. But when the people were put forth , etc.] Either out of the house or room, by Christ, or, at least, by his orders: which was done, partly because he was desirous it might be kept a secret, as much as possible, and to shew, that he did not affect popular applause; and partly, because they were unworthy to be admitted spectators of such a wondrous action, who had treated him with so much scorn and contempt: he went in ; not alone, but with his three disciples, Peter, James, and John, who were taken in to be witnesses of this resurrection, and the parents of the child; who were so very solicitous for its life, under whose power she was, and to whom she was to be restored: and took her by the hand ; just as one would do to awake another out of sleep; and, perhaps, in compliance with her fathers request, to lay his hand upon her: and though the touch of a dead body, according to the law, ( Numbers 19:16) was defiling; yet this did not defile him, any more than his touching the leper, or the profluvious womans touching his clothes; for these actions produced supernatural effects, which came not under the cognizance of the law. His taking her by the hand, was not all that he did, but he called, as to a person asleep, and said unto her these words, Talitha cumi, as recorded by Mark, and are also in Munsters Hebrew Gospel of Matthew; and which, in the Syriac language, signify, maiden, arise; and immediately, directly, as soon as ever he had thus said, the maid arose , as out of sleep; she revived, her soul came to her again, and she got off of the bed, and walked about house, and food was ordered to be given to her. All which most fully demonstrated that she was really restored to life, which was as clear a case, as that before she was really dead.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-26 - The death of our relations should drive us to Christ, who is our life And it is high honour to the greatest rulers to attend on the Lor Jesus; and those who would receive mercy from Christ, must honour him The variety of methods Christ took in working his miracles, perhaps wa because of the different frames and tempers of mind, which those wer in who came to him, and which He who searches the heart perfectly knew A poor woman applied herself to Christ, and received mercy from him by the way. If we do but touch, as it were, the hem of Christ's garment by living faith, our worst evils will be healed; there is no other rea cure, nor need we fear his knowing things which are a grief and burde to us, but which we would not tell to any earthly friend. When Chris entered the ruler's house, he said, Give place. Sometimes, when the sorrow of the world prevails, it is difficult for Christ and his comforts to enter. The ruler's daughter was really dead, but not so to Christ. The death of the righteous is in a special manner to be looke on as only a sleep. The words and works of Christ may not at first be understood, yet they are not therefore to be despised. The people wer put forth. Scorners who laugh at what they do not understand, are no proper witnesses of the wonderful works of Christ. Dead souls are no raised to spiritual life, unless Christ take them by the hand: it is done in the day of his power. If this single instance of Christ' raising one newly dead so increased his fame, what will be his glor when all that are in their graves shall hear his voice, and come forth those that have done good to the resurrection of life, and those tha have done evil to the resurrection of damnation!
