A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 7:13

"And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not." — Luke 7:13 (ASV)

The Lord saw her (ιδων αυτην ο κυριος). The Lord of Life confronts death (Plummer) and Luke may use Κυριος here purposely.

Had compassion (εσπλαγχθη). First aorist (ingressive) passive indicative of σπλαγχνιζομα. Often love and pity are mentioned as the motives for Christ's miracles (Matthew 14:14; 15:32, etc.). It is confined to the Synoptics in the N.T. and about Christ save in the parables by Christ.

Weep not (μη κλαιε). Present imperative in a prohibition. Cease weeping.
