At the miracle that was wrought, to see their child restored to life; to see her arise, walk, and eat, being in perfect health and strength, and no disorder attending her;<\/p>\n but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done<\/strong>. The Ethiopic version reads, “what he had done, nor any thing that was done” not that the thing itself could be concealed, but the way and manner in which, and the means by which it was done, and the circumstances of it; how that by taking her by the hand, and commanding her to arise, she forthwith arose, and walked and ate: Christ’s meaning is, that he would not have them take any pains to publish this affair, or to make it more known than was necessary; not to acquaint any person with the particulars of it, but keep them as private as they could: his reasons for this, [See comments on Mr 5:43]<\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “And her parents were astonished:” <\/strong>(kai eksestesan hoi goneis autes) “And her parents were astounded or amazed,” Mar 5:42<\/span>; Mar 1:27<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “But he charged them,” <\/strong>(hoi de parengellen autois) “Then he enjoined them” or directed them.<\/p>\n 3) “That they should tell no man what was done.”<\/strong> (medemi eipein to gegonos) “To tell no one at all what had happened or occurred,” not to make a civil or religious revolution uprising, as a result of what He had done, Mar 5:43<\/span>. Mat 9:26<\/span> recounts, however, that “the fame hereof went abroad into all the land.” Having been known to all, the ruler could not conceal what had occurred. But he could avoid agitating an uprise of people, to follow Jesus, as a political leader, see?<\/p>\n 56<\/strong>. <\/strong> Tell no man<\/em> No man beyond the circle of those who of course would know that the once dead maiden still lived. They were to tell it to nobody but those who essentially already knew it; thereby giving it no unsafe notoriety. See note on Mat 8:4<\/span>.<\/p>\n ‘And her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.’<\/p>\n Indeed both parents were amazed. They had not really expected Jesus to raise her. But they had had faith enough to let Him come. These two are a message to us all. Not all of us can have the centurion’s faith, but we may find the doubting faith of these two a little easier to achieve. And Jesus then told them to tell no one what had been done. Jesus did not want to start an insurrection, caused as a result of what He had done by the arousing the volatile crowds (Jewish crowds were usually volatile where religion was concerned), nor did He want crowds gathering to see signs and wonders (anymore than already did). This silence is implicit in the way that He had restricted those present to the parents and the three disciples. But the fact that He did include the three demonstrates that it was intended that they would be able to witness to it eventually.<\/p>\n It may, of course, be that He simply meant ‘do not tell anyone immediately’ so that He could slip away without a fuss, but similar occurrences elsewhere suggest that He hated such publicity. He wanted people to seek Him because of the word which He preached, not because of ‘signs’.<\/p>\n In this quiet way did Jesus reveal that He was the Lord of life, and illustrate how one day He will say, “Arise”, so that those who are in the tombs will hear His voice and will arise, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done wrong to the resurrection of judgment (Joh 5:28-29<\/span>).<\/p>\n REFLECTIONS<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Behold! ye poor and afflicted of the Lord’s tried ones, how Jesus, the Son of God, when he humbled himself to be made man, condescended to have his wants supplied by the bounty of his people. Oh! how hath he dignified the path of honest poverty by his bright example! Never, then, forget what Paul was commanded to tell the church: Ye know, said he, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye, through his poverty, might be made rich. Blessed Lord! while I read thy sweet parable of the sower, oh for grace to discover that the pure seed of thy Gospel is sown in my heart, by thy sovereign power: and, from the fallow ground of my poor heart being turned up, and planted with thy grace, the fruit of thy righteousness may, in thee, and through thee, be brought forth an hundred fold. Enable me to embark with thee, thou dearest Lord, in the roughest sea, never being alarmed as long as God-incarnate is with me in the storm; who guides the helm of all my affairs, and will rebuke both wind and tide. And blessed be my God, my Saviour, my Holy One! Jesus, the Son of God, hath dispossessed the enemy from my heart; and now let me, as this poor Gadarene, sit at the feet of Jesus, cloathed in my Lord’s robe of righteousness, and in my right mind. Yea, Lord, if, like the poor woman, deeply and long diseased, or even as the ruler’s daughter, dead, Jesus can and will recover. He saith himself, I am the resurrection and the life. He that liveth and believeth in me, shall never die. Amen,<\/p>\n 56.<\/strong> ] The injunction, however, was not observed; for we read in Matt., .<\/p>\n no man = no one.

(Mark 1:45.) He often found it necessary, therefore, to impose limits to the degree of publicity which was to be given to some of the transactions which were most likely to act strongly upon the public mind. Sometimes he encouraged giving publicity to a miraculous cure, as in Luke 8:39, just before this transaction, when he was upon the other side of the lake, and in a more retired and quiet region. Now, however, the circumstances were different; for he had returned to the Galilean side, where there was already a great popular excitement; the crowd having been actually waiting for him upon the shore, when he came over.
