Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 8:53-54

"And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise." — Luke 8:53-54 (ASV)

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

And he put them out, and took her by the hand, and called saying, Maid, arise.

But Christ put them all out. They laughed him to scorn, and, therefore, he would not work the miracle in their presence. It is not meet to cast pearls before swine.
