In this passage, the laughter of the crowd reflects their disbelief and scorn. In the cultural context of the time, professional mourners were often hired to lament the dead, and their laughter indicates a lack of faith in Jesus' power over death. This reaction is reminiscent of the skepticism Jesus faced throughout His ministry, as seen in other instances such as in Nazareth (<a href="/mark/6-3.htm">Mark 6:3-6</a>). The laughter underscores the contrast between human doubt and divine authority.After He had put them all outside, Jesus' decision to remove the scoffers from the room highlights the importance of faith and the environment in which miracles occur. By excluding those who lacked belief, Jesus created a space conducive to the manifestation of God's power. This act can be seen as a parallel to the Old Testament practice of consecrating a space for divine encounters, as seen in the sanctification of the tabernacle (<a href="/exodus/40-9.htm">Exodus 40:9-10</a>).He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, The presence of the child's parents and Jesus' inner circle, likely Peter, James, and John, emphasizes the personal and intimate nature of this miracle. This select group mirrors the witnesses of other significant events in Jesus' ministry, such as the Transfiguration (<a href="/mark/9-2.htm">Mark 9:2-3</a>). Their inclusion signifies the importance of faith and witness in the unfolding of divine acts.and went in to see the child. Jesus' approach to the child demonstrates His compassion and authority. The act of entering the room signifies His willingness to confront death directly, a foreshadowing of His ultimate victory over death through His resurrection. This moment also fulfills the prophetic imagery of the Messiah bringing life and restoration, as foretold in passages like <a href="/isaiah/61.htm">Isaiah 61:1-3</a>.

He suffered this, in order that the actual death might be the more manifest, and that so they might the more wonder at her resurrection, and thus pass from wonder and amazement to a true faith in him who thus showed himself to be the Resurrection and the Life. He now put them all forth; and then, with his three apostles, Peter, James, and John, and the father and the mother of the child, he went in where the child was. The common crowd were not worthy to see that in which they would not believe. They were unworthy to witness the great reality of the resurrection; for they had been deriding him who wields this power. It is remarked by Archbishop Trench that in the same manner Elisha (<a href="/2_kings/4-33.htm">2 Kings 4:33</a>) cleared the room before he raised the son of the Shunammite. <a href="/commentaries/mark/5-40.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>And καὶ (kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely. they laughed at κατεγέλων (kategelōn) Verb - Imperfect Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_2606.htm">Strong's 2606: </a> To laugh at, ridicule.
