Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 55. - He commanded to give her meat. She had been grievously ill, sick, we know, even to death; and now that the old strength and health had come back again, the Master felt she would at once, after her long abstinence, need food. Even the child's mother was not so motherly as Jesus.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(55) Her spirit came again.--The precise form of expression is peculiar to St. Luke, and is, perhaps, characteristic of the more accurate phraseology that belonged to him as a physician.
