This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 7:13. Ὁ Κύριος, the Lord) This sublime appellation was better known and more used when Luke and John wrote, than when Matthew wrote. Mark holds a midway place. This head of the faith needed to be taught and established in the beginning: then afterwards it might be taken for granted.-ἐσπλαγχνίσθη, the bowels of His compassion were moved) And so for the consolation of the mother, the young man must return to this life.-μὴ κλαῖε, weep not) His thus administering consolation before the performance of the miracle, shows His power of surely performing it. It is His frequent preface elsewhere, Fear not. Among men [on the part of men] there is always something which the approach of God has to remove out of the way at the beginning.
