motive of the miracle. Cf. Mk. i. 41.— μὴ κλαῖε, cease weeping, a hint of what was coming, but of course not under- stood by the widow.—Ver. 14. σοροῦ, the bier (here only in N. T.), probably an open coffin, originally an urn for keeping the bones of the ἀεαά.-- ἔστησαν: those who carried the coffin stood, taking the touch of Jesus as a sign that He wished this.—Ver. 15. ἀνεκάθισεν, sat up: the ava is implied even if the reading ἐκάθ- ισεν be adopted; to sit was to sit up for one who had been previously lying ; sitting up showed life returned, speaking, full possession of his senses; the reality and greatness ofthe miracle thus asserted. —Ver. 16. Φόβος: the awe natural to all, and especially simple people, in pre- sence of the Ρτείετπαξυτα].---προφήτης µέγας, a great prophet, like Elisha, who had wrought a similar miracle at Shunem, near by (2 Kings ἵν.).--ἐπεσκέψατο, visited graciously, as in i. 68, 78.—Ver. 17. 6 λόγος otros, this story. Lk. says it went out; it would spread like wildfire far and wide.—év ὅλῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, in all Judaea. Some (Meyer, Bleek, J. Weiss, Holtzmann) think Judaea means here not the province but the whole of Palestine. But Lk. is looking for- ward to the next incident (message from John); therefore, while the story
would of course spread in all directions, north and south, he lays stress on the southward stream of rumour (carried by the Judaean part of Christ’s audience, vi. 17) through which it would reach the Baptist at Machaerus.—rdoy τῇ περι- χώρῳ, the district surrounding Judaea, Peraea, {.ε., where John was in prison.
Vv. 18-35. The Baptist’s message (Mt. xi. 2-19).—Ver. 18. ἀπήγγειλαν: John’s disciples report to him. Lk.
assumes that his readers will remember what he has stated in iii. 20, and does not repeat it. But the reporting of the disciples tacitly implies that the master is dependent on them for information, i.é.,is in prison.—rept πάντων τούτων : the works of Jesus as in Mt., but τούτων refers specially to the two last reported (centurion’s servant, widow’s son).— Ver. το. δύο, two; more explicit than Mt., who has διὰ τ. μαθητῶν. The δύο may be an editorial change made on the document, from which both drew.—1pés τὸν κύριον (Ἰησοῦν, T. R.): a second instance of the use of the title ‘‘ Lord” in Lk.’s narrative.—ov el, etc. : question as in Mk., with the doubtful variation, ἄλλον for érepov.—Ver. 20. On their arrival the men are made to repeat the question.—Ver. 21. Lk. makes Jesus reply not merely by word, as in Mt. (xi.
