4. THE COMPLETENESS OF HIS HEALING POWER . (Cf. Matthew 8:1 , note.) (a) sight ( Matthew 9:27-31 ); (b) speech, though, in this case, the dumbness was the work of an evil spirit ( Matthew 9:32-34 ). Observe also in this section the reference to the effect of his work upon outsiders. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:24

He said unto them, Give place ; withdraw ( ἀναχωρεῖτε ). This is no room for mourners (cf. Acts 9:40 ). For the maid ; damsel (Revised Version). to assimilate this and Matthew 9:25 to the other passages where κοράσιον is found. Is not dead, but sleepeth. Our Lord looks forward to the result of his coming. So also probably Acts 20:10 . To take our Lord's words here as a literal statement of a present fact, meaning that she was only in a trance, is to contradict the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 9:24

Matthew 9:24. He said unto them, Give place Mark, whose narrative is more particular, says, When he was come in, namely, into the house, he said unto them, Why make ye this ado and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. As the company at the ruler’s house, when Jesus entered it, were employed in making such lamentation for the damsel as they used to make for the dead, it is evident that they all believed she was actually and finally departed: and when Jesus told them she was not... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:18-26

59. Jairus’ daughter and a woman healed (Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:40-56)Back in the Jewish regions, a synagogue elder named Jairus asked Jesus to come and heal his seriously ill daughter. Seeing that the man had faith, Jesus set off for his house (Mark 5:21-24). On the way they were interrupted by a sick woman who believed that if she could only touch Jesus’ clothing she would be healed (Mark 5:25-29). Jesus knew that someone was seeking his help in this way, and did not want the... read more

Give place = Go out [of the room]. maid. Greek. korasion. The same as "damsel" in Mark 6:22 , Mark 6:28 : not the same as "damsel" in Mark 5:39 ( App-108 . IX), which is paidion ( App-108 . V). sleepeth. Greek. katheudo. App-171 . read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 9:24

He said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.Here, in the words of Jesus, of course, are the grounds for cavil; but it should be remembered that Christ said the same concerning Lazarus who had been dead and buried for four days (John 11:11). The actuality of death is not the point in either case, but the nature of death. IT IS A SLEEP. In death, as in sleep: (1) there is a loss of consciousness; (2) both are terminated, sleep by awakening, and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 9:1-34

A. Demonstrations of the King’s power 8:1-9:34Matthew described Jesus’ ministry as consisting of teaching, preaching, and healing in Matthew 4:23. Chapters 5-7 record what He taught His disciples: principles of the kingdom. We have the essence of His preaching ministry in Matthew 4:17. Now in Matthew 8:1 to Matthew 9:34 we see His healing ministry. He demonstrated authority over human beings, unseen spiritual powers, and the world of nature. Matthew showed that Jesus’ ability proves that He is... read more

5. Jesus’ ability to restore 9:18-34The two groups of miracles that Matthew presented so far demonstrated Jesus’ ability to heal (Matthew 8:1-17) and to perform miracles with supernatural power (Matthew 8:23 to Matthew 9:8). This last cluster demonstrates His ability to restore. These miracles show that Jesus can restore all things, as the prophets predicted the Son of David would do. Furthermore, He can do this in spite of opposition.The raising of Jairus’ daughter and the healing of a woman... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 9:23-26

Perhaps Matthew of all the Gospel writers who recorded this incident mentioned the flute players because he wanted to stress Jesus’ complete reversal of this situation. Even the poorest Jews hired flute players to play at funerals. [Note: Mishnah Kethuboth 4:4.] Their funerals were also occasions of almost unrestrained wailing and despair, which Matthew 9:23 reflects.The crowd ridiculed Jesus by laughing at His statement (Matthew 9:24). They thought He was both wrong and late in arriving, too... read more
