“And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.”
King James Version (KJV)
9:24 Withdraw - There is no need of you now; for the maid is not dead - Her life is not at an end; but sleepeth - This is only a temporary suspension of sense and motion, which should rather be termed sleep than death.
9:25 The maid arose - Christ raised three dead persons to life; this child, the widow's son, and Lazarus: one newly departed, another on the bier, the third smelling in the grave: to show us that no degree of death is so desperate as to be past his help.
Mt 9:26 The fame hereof went abroad. Luke dwells emphatically upon the astonishment felt by the parents (Lu 8:56), but shared doubtless by the three apostles (Mr 5:42).
