Verse 42
For he had one only daughter ,.... And so exceedingly dear to him:
about twelve years of age ; See Gill on Matthew 9:18 .
And she lay a dying , or "was near death", as the Syriac and Persic versions; or "was just ready to die", as the Ethiopic version. The Vulgate Latin and Arabic versions render it, "she was dead", or "now dead", and which agrees with Matthew 9:18 . See Gill on Matthew 9:18 .
but as he went ; along the streets of Capernaum, from Matthew's house; where he had been entertained with his disciples, and others, and where he had a conversation with some of the Pharisees and John's disciples, to the ruler's house:
the people thronged him ; such a vast multitude followed him to see the cure, that he was even crowded, and so pressed on all sides, that it was difficult to walk along.
Be the first to react on this!
