Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 8:48-49

"And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue`s [house], saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher." — Luke 8:48-49 (ASV)

And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. While he yet spoke, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

As if such a suppliant really did trouble him! Still, if you have been praying long, and your case appears to be hopeless, despair will whisper, "Trouble not the Master." But Christ is never troubled by our prayer; it is our lack of prayer that troubles him. Even after the worst has come to the worst, we will never trouble him if we continue our prayers. But if, for any reason, we cease from them, then indeed is his heart grieved.
