The Greek word for "but" (δέ, de) often introduces a contrast or a shift in the narrative. Here, it signifies a transition from fear and hopelessness to divine assurance and power. The name "Jesus" (Ἰησοῦς, Iēsous) is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua, meaning "The Lord is salvation." This highlights His role as the Savior who brings hope and deliverance.<p><b>hearing this</b><br />The phrase indicates Jesus' awareness and attentiveness to the situation. The Greek verb used here for "hearing" (ἀκούσας, akousas) implies not just passive listening but an active, discerning attention. It underscores Jesus' omniscience and His ability to perceive the needs and fears of those around Him, even amidst a crowd.<p><b>answered him</b><br />This shows Jesus' direct response to the situation. The Greek word for "answered" (ἀποκριθεὶς, apokritheis) suggests a thoughtful and authoritative reply. Jesus' response is not just a reaction but a deliberate and purposeful engagement with the person in need, demonstrating His compassion and authority.<p><b>Do not be afraid</b><br />This command is a common biblical exhortation, often used by God or His messengers to reassure His people. The Greek phrase (Μὴ φοβοῦ, Mē phobou) is an imperative, urging the listener to cease from fear. It reflects a consistent biblical theme where faith in God is presented as the antidote to fear. Jesus, as the embodiment of divine presence, offers peace and courage in the face of daunting circumstances.<p><b>just believe</b><br />The call to "just believe" (μόνον πίστευε, monon pisteue) is a central tenet of Christian faith. The Greek word for "believe" (πιστεύω, pisteuō) implies trust, confidence, and reliance upon God. This phrase emphasizes the sufficiency of faith in Jesus, encouraging believers to place their trust in His power and promises, even when situations seem impossible.<p><b>and she will be healed</b><br />This promise of healing (σωθήσεται, sōthēsetai) is both physical and spiritual. The Greek word used here can mean to save, heal, or deliver, indicating a holistic restoration. Jesus assures that faith in Him will result in the girl's recovery, demonstrating His authority over life and death. This promise reflects the broader biblical narrative of redemption and restoration through faith in Christ.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/luke/8.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(50) <span class= "bld">Believe only.</span>--There is a slight difference in the shade of meaning of the Greek tense as compared with the like command in St. Mark's report, the latter giving "Believe" as implying a permanent state--<span class= "ital">Be believing</span>--St. Luke's report laying stress on the immediate act of faith.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/8.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 50.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.</span> No shadow of hesitation crossed the Redeemer's mind; with unruffled calmness he whispered his words of cheer to the grief-stricken father, and bade him fear nothing, for that all would yet be well with the child. Then follows the well-known, often-read story told in such few words, yet are they so vivid, so dramatic, that we seem to be looking on the scene. The grief-stricken household, the hired mourners, the still death-room, the white motionless form of the dead girl - the ruler's only child - lying on her little bed, the group of the six with tear-dimmed eyes standing round; the loving Master bending over the little dead, his smile as for a moment he took back the all-power he had laid aside a little season <span class="accented">for our sakes</span>; the far-off look in his eyes as for a moment his vision ranged over his old home of peace and grandeur; and then the two words spoken in the familiar Aramaic (Hebrew), which Mark, or rather Mark's master, Peter, remembered so well, "Talitha, kumi!" and the dead child rose up again, the spirit had returned to its frail tenement. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/8-50.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">But</span><br /><span class="grk">δὲ</span> <span class="translit">(de)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> </span><span class="str2">A primary particle; but, and, etc.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Jesus</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἰησοῦς</span> <span class="translit">(Iēsous)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2424.htm">Strong's 2424: </a> </span><span class="str2">Of Hebrew origin; Jesus, the name of our Lord and two other Israelites.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">overheard [them]</span><br /><span class="grk">ἀκούσας</span> <span class="translit">(akousas)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_191.htm">Strong's 191: </a> </span><span class="str2">To hear, listen, comprehend by hearing; pass: is heard, reported.
