John Gill Commentary
"But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise." — Luke 8:54 (ASV)
And he put them all out
Of the room, where the maiden lay, all the mourners and pipers; all excepting the parents of the child, and his three disciples.
This clause is left out in the Vulgate Latin, and Ethiopic versions; nor was it in two of Beza's ancient copies, and in two of Stephens's; but in the rest, and in the other versions.
and took hereby the hand, and called, saying ;
in the Syriac language, "Talitha cumi", as in (Mark 5:41)
Maid, arise ;
(See Gill on Mark 5:41).
