Verse 14
And he came nigh and touched the bier; and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
Touched the bier ... Thus, Jesus defied the ceremonial defilement forbidding such a thing; because the dead could not defile him, but conversely he raised the dead!
Young man, I say unto thee, Arise ... This corresponds exactly, except for the salutation, with what Jesus said to the daughter of Jairus (Mark 5:41); and the spiritual application is the same. See under that reference in my Commentary on Mark.
