A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 8:55

"And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that [something] be given her to eat." — Luke 8:55 (ASV)

Her spirit returned (επεστρεψεν το πνευμα αυτης). The life came back to her at once.

Be given her to eat (αυτη δοθηνα φαγειν). The first infinitive δοθηνα is an indirect command. The second φαγειν (second aorist active of εσθιω) is epexegetic purpose.
