This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
14. τῆς σόρου. ‘The coffin.’ Here again, as in the case of the leper (Luk 5:12), our Lord sacrificed the mere Levitical ceremonialism, with its rules about uncleanness, to a higher law. Jewish coffins were open, so that the form of the dead was visible.

σοὶ λέγω. ‘To thee (dead though thou art) I say.’

ἐγέρθητι. Probably the single monosyllable Kûm! Compare Luk 8:54; Joh 11:43; Act 9:40. How unlike the passionate tentative struggles of Elijah (1Ki 17:21) and Elisha (2Ki 4:35)!
