Verse 37
Jesus allowed only His inner circle of disciples to accompany Him to witness this miracle (cf. Deuteronomy 17:6; Mark 9:2; Mark 14:33). He probably did so to limit popular reaction to it. If the multitudes thronged to Jesus because He healed them, how much more would they seek His physical help if they knew He could raise the dead.
"While raising the dead may be the greatest miracle from our perspective, this miracle comes in a series of miracles involving absolutely hopeless situations." [Note: Guelich, p. 301.]
