Ταλιθά, xoup, maiden, rise! first instance in which the words of Jesus, as spoken in Aramaic, are given. Jesus may have been a bilingual, sometimes using Greek, sometimes Syriac. He would use the vernacular on a pathetic occasion like this. The word Ταλιθά, feminine of
Teli (9), is found in the Hebrew only in the plural (orssbuo).—ver. 42.
περιεπάτει, etc.: the diminutive κοράσιον might suggest the idea of a mere child, therefore, after stating that she walked about, it is added that she was twelve
ears old. In Mk. only.—Ver. 43. ποδια that the girl had recovered could not be hid, but that she had been brought back from death might be. Jesus wished this, not desiring that ex- pectations of such acts should be awakened.—8o0fvat Φαγεῖν: she could walk and eat; not only alive, but well: 6 στανῖτετ aegroti vix solent cibum sumere,’”’ Grotius.—etmev here takes the infinitive after it, not, as often, ἵνα with subjunctive.

I-13) are re- garded by some (Weiss, Schanz, etc.) as forming the conclusion of a division of the Gospel beginning at iii. 7, having for its general heading: The disciple- circle versus the unreceptive multitude. Such analysis of the Gospels into distinct masses is useful provided it be not over- done.
Vv. 1-6a. esus at Nazareth (Mt. xiii. 53-58, cf. Lk. iv. 16-30).—Ver. 1. ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν. It is not said, but it is very probable, that this was another of Christ’s attempts to escape from the crowd into a scene of comparative quiet and rest (the AiJl, iii. 13, the eastern shore, v. 1, Nazareth, vi. 1). Mt. gives this incident at the close of the parable col- lection; Lk. at the beginning of the Galilean ministry. Mk.’s connection is the most historical, Lk.’s is obviously an anticipation. It is the same incident in all three Gospels.—warpida: vide notes on Mt., ad loc.—oit μαθηταὶ a. Mt. omits this.—Ver. 2. ἤρξατο διδάσκειν͵ etc.: Jesus did not go to Nazareth for the purpose of preaching, rather for rest ; but that He should preach was inevit-
