This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Lord saw her (idōn autēn ho kurios). The Lord of Life confronts death (Plummer) and Luke may use Kurios here purposely.
Had compassion (esplagchthē). First aorist (ingressive) passive indicative of splagchnizomai. Often love and pity are mentioned as the motives for Christ’s miracles (Mat 14:14; Mat 15:32, etc.). It is confined to the Synoptics in the N.T. and about Christ save in the parables by Christ.
Weep not (mē klaie). Present imperative in a prohibition. Cease weeping.
