"And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And they laughed him to scorn,.... The servants, neighbours, and relations, the pipers, and mourning women: these, from weeping for the dead, fell to laughing at Christ, having him and
his words in the utmost derision: knowing that she was dead: some of them having been employed in laying her out, and all of them having seen her, and were satisfied, and thoroughly assured, that she was actually dead, as ever any person was, as she doubtless was; but they were ignorant in what sense Christ meant she was not dead, but asleep; See Gill on Mat 9:24 . See Gill on Mar 5:39 .
